Yesterday, an hour before Microsoft unveiled its Xbox Games Showcase, The Game Awards creator and host Geoff Keighley held a special pre-show featuring some “additional world premieres” and exciting revelations.
Square Enix appeared several times during this event. As you’ve no doubt already heard, it’s bringing Balan Wonderworld to the Nintendo Switch next spring, but apart from this, it also announced Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Ultimate Edition It would launch on Xbox One, Windows PC, and PlayStation 4 on December 4 worldwide.
It means that this improved version of the game is no longer technically exclusive to the Nintendo Switch. Keep in mind that this charming RPG was available on Nintendo Switch in September 2019, so it will have experienced a little over a year of exclusivity on Switch before launching on any other platform, including Microsoft’s subscription service, Xbox Game Pass. You can read more about the port on our sister site, Push Square.
This follows Square Enix launching its other RPG Octopath Traveler, Exclusively on Nintendo Switch in 2018, and just under a year later, it’s available on PC and most recently on Google Stadia.
