Square Enix finally provided an update on Dragon Quest XI’s localization news. We have a mix of both good and bad news for Nintendo fans.

First, Square Enix has confirmed that the Switch version of Dragon Quest XI will be released in North America and Europe. However, it has “a long way to go until its release.”

Square Enix has worked with many different developers to release their games through its “Collective” program. A couple of these games have already made their way to Switch, including the recently-launched Fear Effect Sedna.

Switch owners can expect at least one more title from the Collective program this year. Phil Elliott, creator and project lead, shared the news in an interview with Fragments of Silicon. Elliott indicated that the company is looking at prior releases to see if they can be brought over to Switch.

Dragon Quest Builders for Switch is one of the few entries in the franchise released in the west ahead of Japan. The Japanese release just took place on March 1.

For the week of February 26, we heard that Dragon Quest Builders sold just under 30,000 copies. Dengeki further reports that it sold through about 55% of its initial shipment in Japan.

The debut Japanese sales of Dragon Quest Builders for Switch aren’t really comparable to the initial PlayStation debut, but it’d be a bit silly to compare them in the first place. This is a somewhat late port at the end of the day, and we also can’t forget that Dragon Quest Builders 2 will be available sometime this year. Long term sales are also possible.
