"Dragon Quest 11" is set for release next year in Japan as announced by Square Enix. Meanwhile, they will be holding the 30th anniversary event of Dragon Quest on Jan. 13, 2016.
Square Enix announced that "Dragon Quest 11" may probably be released not later than May 2017 but they refuse to release said game in Europe and North America unless other games will have an increased sales in those areas.
"Dragon Quest" is successful in the east as it is one of the most famous JRPG series in Japan. With that, Square Enix will focus in their home country and currently doesn't have plans of extending the game to the western countries.
The game's PS4 version is using "Unreal Engine 4" since it is the goal of Square Enix to "leverage the series’ classic visuals with a modern game engine." Meanwhile, 3DS version will feature a 3D and 2D split across dual screens but it will not be seen in the entire game, Forbes reported.
