A demo for the PlayStation 4 version of Dragon Quest X Online is now available via the Japanese PlayStation Store.
The demo will let users play through the entire story of Dragon Quest X Version 1. Save data from the demo can be carried over to the full version of Dragon Quest X, should you decide to purchase it.
Dragon Quest X Online is available for PlayStation 4, Switch, Wii U, and PC in Japan.
The Switch version of Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age is developed using Unreal Engine 4, series creator Yuji Horii said at Epic Games Japan’s Unreal Fest East 2017 at Pacifico Yokohama Conference Center today.
Several Twitter users who attended the event reported Horii as confirming the Switch version is developed in Unreal Engine 4, suggesting that it is a port of the PlayStation 4 version rather than the 3DS version. Horii questioned whether he could talk about the Switch version being developed in Unreal Engine 4, to which Square Enix programmer Mitsuru Kamiyama replied, “you already said it!” It should be noted that Unreal Engine 4 did not officially support Switch until version 4.15, while Dragon Quest XI was originally developed in version 4.13.
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age launched for PlayStation 4 and 3DS in Japan on July 29. A western release is planned for 2018, but platforms have yet to be announced.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age producer Hokuto Okamoto discussed more about the troubled Switch version of the RPG during an interview with GameSpot at PAX East 2018 in Boston.
“It’s true that the Nintendo Switch version is under development at this moment in time,” Okamoto told GameSpot. “Specifically with regards to the development, this game was developed on the Unreal Engine, but the version for Unreal Engine needs to be updated, I suppose, in order to support Switch. In that sense, the development is still expected to take a very long time. It’s still a long ways out.”
Hokuto made clear that the Switch version will definitely be released in the west, and that the while the team considered holding back the PlayStation 4 version to launch simultaneously with the Switch version, it ultimately decided against it.
“Of course, we did consider releasing the PlayStation 4 and Switch version around the same time if that was even a possibility, but right now the outlook for the Switch version is still unclear at this moment in time,” Okamoto said. “The Japan team, they wanted to release Dragon Quest a XI and bring it overseas as soon as possible for our fans overseas, which is why they proceeded with the PlayStation 4 [and] Steam version this time.”
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of Elusive Age will launch for PlayStation 4 and PC on September 4 in North America and Europe.

推出 Switch 版《勇者斗恶龙11 追忆逝去之时》前 我们还有很多事情要做
转载 - Vgtime(http://www.vgtime.com/topic/951351.jhtml)
The Switch version of Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age still has “many things” that need to be worked out, producer Hokuto Okamoto told Polygon at E3 2018.
“We’re making it,” Okamoto said regarding the Switch version. “We’re still making it. I can’t say anything more.”
Okamoto continued, “When we first announced [Dragon Quest XI], the Switch hadn’t come out yet, and the development kit also wasn’t finalized. The hardware specs weren’t out yet, but we were like, ‘We can manage this. We can put this out on the Switch.’”
Okamoto would not say how long “taking care of all those many things” that need adjustments before the Switch version is released would take.
