Okay. Full disclosure, here. I haven't exactly had the opportunity to actually essentially… you know… PLAY Dragon Quest XI yet, but at the same time, I would be remiss not to give Square Enix a nod for, yet again, taking a risk on a franchise that rarely performs well in the United States. Also, the game's universal acclaim Dragon Quest XI never falters once across the internet, which...
Everything we talk about here is pure speculation, opinion, and pulled straight from orifices we don't usually prefer to publish about. Nothing we say has been confirmed, and our entire inception is based on a rumor that may or may not come to fruition later into 2019. However, who doesn't love a good "Gimmie these characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate!" article? Today, we're...
After crossing 2 million copies in its first two days, Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of the Elusive Age has since rocketed past the 3 million unit mark in its home country of Japan. Square Enix confirmed the sales figure at its Dragon Quest Summer Festival 2017 in Tokyo this weekend, making it one of the fastest selling games in the series’ history. The figure includes digital sales and...
I had my worries and doubts about how Dragon Quest XI would perform in Japan upon release. The home console market doesn’t have nearly the same grip on its audiences as it did back when Dragon Quest VII and Dragon Quest VIII destroyed the record books, and the kids are more into modern franchises like Pokémon, Splatoon, and the smartphone games these days to care about some old game...
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of the Elusive Age has been available and been smashing sales charts in Japan for four days now, and naturally, some gamers already finished its epic quest. Square Enix kept this a secret for a good long while, but at the end of your experience, a nice, nostalgic surprise is awaiting you! Upon beating the game, it will provide you with a password to use on the...
No doubt about it, Square Enix is making something magical with Dragon Quest XI. You can dive into the technicalities of graphics and argue that photorealism trumps all, but with each trailer and screenshot showing how is shaping up, it’s hard for me to think that anything else can even compare at the moment. It’s one thing to make a game like Horizon Zero Dawn or Spider-Man look good...
As expected, Square Enix didn’t bring Dragon Quest XI to E3 2017, but that didn’t stop it from showing off a hilarious new trailer during the show’s duration. *HINTHINT!* Now, Puff Puff is a code word that only Dragon Quest fans will understand. Nobody is quite sure what Puff Puff is exactly since the games always fade to black before the actual act occurs, but in the world of Dragon...
Hori has made some genuinely crazy controllers throughout the course of its existence, but every once in a while, it can top even itself. This Dragon Quest XI controller, which is launching alongside the game on July 29 in Japan, is shaped like one of the franchise’s classic slime monsters. As you can see in the image, the DualShock 4 touchpad in the middle and the rest of the buttons...
Square Enix is preparing for Dragon Quest XI to be a monster hit for the aging Nintendo 3DS and the bursting PlayStation 4. The series has a long history of destroying the competition at the Japanese market, which also means that competitors are preparing for Dragon Quest XI to be a monster hit, as well. President & CEO of Kadokawa Hirokazu Hamamura believes nothing is going to...
Square Enix threw a huge party last night for the release date announcement of Dragon Quest XI, and we emerged on the other side with a definitive timetable. Both the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation 4 versions of Dragon Quest XI will be released in Japan on July 29. As predicted, we did not get a release date for the Nintendo Switch version of the game, which was confirmed for development...
