GN Version 5.0


Over the past few months, fans have been clamoring for a Nintendo Switch version of Dragon Quest XI. Seeing as the game is releasing on other consoles, including the 3DS, fans have continued to beg for a Switch release. The game's director, Takeshi Uchikawa, made this official response in a Polygon interview:

When we first announced [Dragon Quest 11], the Switch hadn’t come out yet, and the development kit also wasn’t finalized. The hardware specs weren’t out yet, but we were like, "We can manage this. We can put this out on the Switch." 

Producers Hokuto Okamoto and Hikari Kubota also stepped in, and they claimed that the crew was still "taking care of many things." They then asked that fans stop requesting the game and that they have nothing to announce at the moment.
