Users who pre-order Dragon Quest XI on the PlayStation Store will receive a “The Legend Reborn” PlayStation 4 theme as an instant reward, as well as in-game downloadable content when the game launches.

In a statement to IGN, Square Enix said that it will not be localizing the 3DS version, but that the Switch version will be released in the west further down the line.

“We are also developing the Switch version for Europe and North America,” reads Square Enix’s statement, “but development is expected to take a long time from a technological standpoint as well, so we still have a long way to go until its release.”

While Square Enix did not announce a release date for the Switch version, it did confirm that it will not release in 2018, and could end up launching “much later.”

Speaking to GameSpot, Square Enix added that, “development [on the Switch version] is expected to take a long time from a technological standpoint.”
