Dragon Quest XI S: out now on Switch 2

Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition, the eleventh main instalment in Square Enix's role-playing series, is coming to Switch 2. This definitive version, developed and published by Square Enix, brings back the turn-based role-playing game that tells the origin of the saga's legendary heroes.

The game takes place in a peaceful village, where a 16-year-old boy takes part in the ceremony that marks his coming of age. There he learns that he is the reincarnation of the hero who once saved the world. To understand this fate, he leaves his home village and sets out to explore a vast world.

This edition includes all the content added to the Switch version: extra scenarios focused on the supporting characters, Japanese voice acting in addition to the English voices, a choice between a 2D and a 3D graphics mode, and an orchestral soundtrack. The Switch 2 version adds an option to prioritise either graphics or frame rate, as well as a set of items: two outfits for the hero and Veronica, five tonic potions and five seeds of skill.

Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition has been available on Switch 2 since 24 September 2026. This definitive edition was first released on Switch in 2019.
