The developers of Dragon Quest XI recently teased a surprise awaiting players if they connect online after completing the game. With players starting to reach that one, we now know what they were referring to. Continue on below for more.

This has been a big week for Lost Sphear. The RPG received an October release date in Japan, and a late January 2018 launch in the west.

Famitsu also had coverage of Lost Sphear in its latest issue. Square Enix actually covered most of the news in English through a post on the PlayStation Blog. Along with characters Sherra and Obaro, we’re introduced to the mechanized armor Vulcosuit.

Here’s the full rundown:

The launch of Dragon Quest games is always a big deal in Japan. It’s an extremely popular series, and each new entry is treated as a huge event.

It’s been a five year wait for the next Dragon Quest title. The wait has been even longer for a new single-player focused game. And so Japan no doubt treated the release of Dragon Quest XI as an important event. You can see a few photos from the launch below.
