Square Enix has “No Concrete Plans” to Localize Dragon Quest XI

Just yesterday, Square Enix hosted a livestream for the Dragon Quest games, and fans were delighted to see that Dragon Quest XI was officially announced for the PS4, Nintendo 3DS, and potentially the NX as well. However, the game was only confirmed for a Japanese release and there was no news on whether the game would be coming to western territories.

The official Dragon Quest Twitter account sent out a couple of tweets today, stating that Square Enix currently has no plans to bring Dragon Quest XI to English-speaking territories.

Hi everyone! I know a lot of people have been asking if Dragon Quest XI is coming to the West but sadly we don't have a concrete plan atm 🙁

I've been told the team will consider bringing DQ XI to the West as we've done in the past for other DQ games but I don't know anything else

Dragon Quest XI is set to be released for the PS4 and 3DS in Japan next year.
