In a surprising and extremely interesting move, Square Enix announced that\u00a0Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King<\/b>\u00a0will be getting the mobile treatment and coming to iOS and Android in Japan on Dec 12, for 2800 yen (US$27).<\/p>\n

Whats most interesting is that this is one of the first PS2 games ported over to smartphones, and its price point was set higher than most due to the large amount of content included therein.<\/p>\n

Check out the first Trailer for the game:<\/p>\n
