Square Enix shared the first trailer / opening movie for Dragon Quest XI at Jump Festa 2017 today, comprised entirely of animation. Give it a watch below.

You’ll notice that the Switch logo is absent from today’s video. Is Square Enix being coy until the Switch event in January?

Other than that, Dragon Quest XI is currently targeting a 2017 launch in Japan, which Square Enix more or less indicated before.

Square Enix showed the 3DS and PlayStation 4 versions of Dragon Quest XI during its presentation. The 3DS release seems to be its own thing, but it gets hazy when it comes to Switch. The thought currently is that the Switch edition will match up similarly to the PlayStation 4 title, though we’ll have to wait and see.

Square Enix will be hosting a special stage show for Dragon Quest XI at Jump Festa 2017 in about 30 minutes. The event begins at 9 PM PT / 12 AM ET / 5 AM in the UK / 6 AM in Europe. You can watch the stage show as it happens below.

It’s unclear if Square Enix will be showing the 3DS version of Dragon Quest XI. However, even if the publisher only chooses to highlight the PS4 edition, it might be worthwhile to see since we’re expecting it to be very similar on Switch.
