Dragon Quest XI officially confirmed for the West | Nintendo Switch News | NintendoReporters

 [![Dragon Quest XI officially confirmed for the West](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/dragon-quest-xi-officieel-bevestigd-voor-westen.jpg "Dragon Quest XI officially confirmed for the West")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/dragon-quest-xi-officieel-bevestigd-voor-westen.jpg)Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age is the newest title in the famous Dragon Quest series and has been available in Japan for a while.

It was quite a wait, but Square Enix has finally announced a release date for the West. The game will appear on September 4 on PlayStation 4 and Steam.

Square Enix has also confirmed that the game will also appear here for the Nintendo Switch, which is of course very good news.

However, there is also less good news. The Nintendo Switch version will not come true for a very long time, because a lot needs to be done before the game runs smoothly on the Nintendo’s Switch.

The development is expected to take a lot of time from a technological point of view, so we still have a long way to go to the release in both Japan and the West.

Annoying but it comes to the West, that’s a lot!
