The Dragon Quest series rogue-lite RPG Dragon Quest Smash Grow, jointly developed for smartphones by KLab and Square Enix, will run the “Dragon Quest IV Event” and “0.5th Anniversary Campaign” from 21 October.
The “Dragon Quest IV Event” begins today, 21 October. As players progress through the event story, they can deepen their bonds with DQIV characters and unlock the “Companion Adventure Skill.” After acquiring the skill, DQIV characters appear during battles and support players by activating their respective abilities. Raising bond ranks enables players to obtain items and skills, and the Companion Adventure Skill is also effective in Super Monster Rush Season 6.
The new “Memory Skill” feature will also be introduced during the event. It can be activated by equipping memories of DQIV characters obtained by raising bond ranks in ★-marked formation slots. When the ★ reaches S rank, players can continue adventuring with DQIV companions after the event ends.
As part of the 0.5th anniversary campaign, login bonuses providing up to 5,000 free gems and the “0.5th Anniversary Gold and Adventure Rank-Up Campaign,” which increases the amount of gold and Adventure Rank experience earned for clearing stages, will be held. Both will run from 21 October 2026 to 15 December at 11:59, although eligible stages and the event period may change.
Tenku series equipment will be introduced. The new weapon, the Tenku Sword, has a wind-element damage skill that releases a slash while racing through the sky, and its Instant Adventure Skill, “Tenku Blast,” creates a wind blast around the player. The equipment's appearance varies in part by character type. The event will run from 21 October 2026 to 22 December at 11:59.
