Nintendo and Grezzo appear to be preparing a demo for Ever Oasis. That’s based on some promotional materials that have surfaced for the game. One advert shows that the demo is available now, but we know that isn’t the case of course. It should be distributed a bit closer to release.

Nintendo has released a trailer for another part of the Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia downloadable content. This time, it’s for the “Lost Altars” DLC pack. This pack actually contains ten separate pieces of DLC, which can also be bought individually. They each allow one class who has reached what is normally the final stage of their class to promote once more. For example, Barons can promote into Spartans and Dread Fighters can promote into Yakshas.

Earlier it was announced that features like casinos and horse racing would be appearing in Dragon Quest XI, now we have a few details on how this will all work as well as a good number of screenshots.

Horse Racing
Compete against famous knights to determine the best horse rider. If you win, you will receive a prize. There are also various obstacles like pumpkins and jump stands.

Casino
You can exchange the coins you have on hand to enjoy various games such as the slots and roulette. Players can acquire valuable items and exchange coins for prizes. The casino games include slots, roulette, and poker.

Quests

Small Medals
You will find these medals throughout the world. You can exchange these medals with someone to receive rewards.

Ever Oasis director Koichi Ishii is back with a new blog post. This time around, he goes over the actual oasis by sharing new details and concept art.

In the past, the desert world Vistrahda used to be lush green with lots of oases, and was brimming with life. However, due to the appearance of Chaos, the desert animals turned into Chaos Monsters, plants could no longer be raised, and the oases around the world necame reduced. Right now only a few oases and Beastmen settlements remain.

Those who do not live in either oases or settlements are traveling in the harsh and dangerous deserts. They have to endure scorching heat in day and hide themselves from violent Chaos Monsters in night, and they sleep in caves.

Dragon Quest XI will be launching on 3DS alongside a PlayStation 4 version in July. That wasn’t the original plan, however. In a pamphlet provided to fans at the Dragon Quest XI “Countdown Carnival” hands-on events, it’s revealed that the 3DS version was added later on in development.

Originally, development started as only a PlayStation 4 title. 3DS production began later due to its increase in userbase and Square Enix wanting more fans to experience the game.

Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii had some concerns about 3DS players feeling that they were playing an inferior version. So when an idea was brought up to include both 2D and 3D perspectives, he said: “That’s good!”.

Funnily enough, Square Enix is also planning Dragon Quest XI for Switch. We’ve yet to see anything from that version though.
