We’re in a strange place with Dragon Quest XI on Switch right now. Last week, the long-awaited RPG launched in Japan on 3DS and PlayStation 4. Despite that, we still have yet to see a single image from the Switch version. Square Enix has also chosen not to provide any information thus far.

Dragon Quest XI was actually “announced” for Switch way back in 2015 during the NX days. However, Square Enix then said it was only “considering” bringing the game over to Nintendo’s new platform. Square Enix then clarified that it was officially happening last year. We also received another confirmation when Switch was initially unveiled . Finally, this past May, series creator Yuji Horii noted that they’ll say something when they are able to. 

At the Dragon Quest Summer Festival 2017 today, Square Enix pulled back the curtain on the next expansion for Dragon Quest X, known as “The 500-Year Voyage to a Far-away Hometown.” It’s launching on November 16 for 3,800 yen.

Here’s a trailer:

You may have seen a little bit of sales news tucked away in today’s Nintendo Download report. That’s right: I Am Setsuna has received its first eShop sale on Switch.

I Am Setsuna can be purchased for $26.79, where it was $39.99 originally. The game has also been discounted to €26.79 / £20.09 from €39.99 / £29.99 in Europe.

This sale lasts until August 10.
