A Taiwanese ratings board has listed a potential Nintendo Switch 2 version of Dragon Quest 11 S, signaling another port from Square Enix. The classification surfaced on April 29. This marks a possible fifth platform iteration for the acclaimed JRPG.
Square Enix continues its push with Nintendo Switch 2 ports, following Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. A classification for Dragon Quest 11 S appeared on Taiwan's ratings board on April 29, as first reported by Eurogamer. The listing hints at an enhanced edition for the upcoming console, building on the game's history across multiple platforms since its 2017 launch on 3DS and PS4. The 2019 Nintendo Switch version introduced orchestrated music, bonus plot content, expanded 2D gameplay, and faster battle speeds, though it required graphical compromises to fit the hardware. Additional versions followed for Stadia and others, with fans praising it as one of the best JRPGs ever—one ResetEra commenter called it 'one of the best JRPGs of all-time.' The Switch 2 rating adds to anticipation ahead of Dragon Quest Day on May 27, when fans expect updates on the long-teased Dragon Quest 12. Series creator Yuji Horii confirmed last year that Dragon Quest 12 remains in development, targeting an adult audience, five years after its announcement.
