A classification rating for a Nintendo Switch 2 port of Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition has appeared on Taiwan’s rating board, signaling an official announcement may be imminent. The rating filing typically precedes publisher announcements and suggests Square Enix is preparing to bring the game to Nintendo’s next-generation console.
The “S” version, which originally launched on Nintendo Switch in 2019, is the definitive edition of the acclaimed RPG. It includes substantial content additions such as character-specific story expansions and a new orchestral soundtrack.

The timing of the rating’s emergence aligns with the upcoming Dragon Quest Day celebration, suggesting the Switch 2 port may be formally revealed as part of franchise announcements in the coming weeks. Bringing this enhanced edition to Switch 2 hardware would introduce the game to new audiences while leveraging the console’s improved technical capabilities compared to the original Switch version.
