Those hoping that Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World<\/a> might be right around the corner had better temper their expectations a little. While the game is launching this year, we still have a fair few months to wait.<\/p>\n

As revealed in the Nintendo Direct<\/a>, The Withered World will launch on Switch 1 and 2 on 3rd December<\/strong>, making it a nice holiday treat for those already after something for the Christmas list.<\/p>\n

The new trailer gave us a brief look at some of the gameplay, showcasing the monster scouting and battling. There was also a second or two of overworld footage, all of which seemed to be running pretty smoothly, which is a relief!<\/p>\n

Here’s a closer look at some screenshots, so you can get an idea of the visuals:<\/p>\n
