Yesterday, an hour before Microsoft hosted its Xbox Games Showcase, The Game Awards creator and host, Geoff Keighley, ran a special pre-show featuring some “additional world premieres” and exciting reveals.<\/p>\n

Square Enix popped up a few times throughout this event. As you’ve already no doubt heard, it’s bringing Balan Wonderworld<\/a><\/strong> to the Nintendo Switch next Spring, but apart from this, it also announced Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition<\/a><\/strong> would be released on the Xbox One, Windows PC, and PlayStation 4 on 4th December worldwide.<\/p>\n

It means this enhanced version of the game is no longer technically exclusive to the Nintendo Switch. This lovely role-playing game – keep in mind – was made available on the Nintendo Switch in September 2019, so it will have experienced just over a year of exclusivity on Switch before rolling out on every other platform – including Microsoft’s subscription service, Xbox Game Pass. You can read more about the port over on our sister site, Push Square.<\/a><\/p>\n

This follows on from Square Enix releasing its other<\/em> RPG, Octopath Traveler<\/a>,<\/strong> exclusively on the Nintendo Switch in 2018, and just under a year later making it available on the PC and more recently on Google Stadia.<\/p>\n
