Dragon Quest XI S: Definitive Edition launches this Fall for Switch

After the huge success of Dragon Quest XI in North America, Square Enix is finally ready to release the Switch version this fall as Nintendo announced in today’s Nintendo Direct.

Dragon Quest XI was first launched in North America for PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam late last year. For those who never had a chance in playing the game last year, now is the time to play it when it launches this Fall as it’s the most definitive version you can get and it’s only exclusive to the Nintendo Switch.

What makes the Switch version the Definitive Edition is that it includes a host of new contents such as extra stories focusing on the individual characters, and there will be a dual-audio support. In addition, the game will also have orchestrated tracks.

Here’s an overview of the game, via Nintendo:
