Dragon Quest 11 S gets rated for Switch 2, potentially giving Square Enix a fifth bite of the apple
A Nintendo Switch 2 version of Dragon Quest 11 S appears to be in development, following a classification listing from Taiwan’s ratings board on April 29th. This potential port would mark another iteration of the acclaimed RPG, demonstrating Square Enix’s continued strategy to bring established franchises to Nintendo’s next-generation console.
The rating revelation aligns with Square Enix’s broader push to port major titles to Switch 2. The publisher is simultaneously working on Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth for the platform, signaling significant investment in reaching Switch 2’s audience. Taiwan’s ratings board has proven to be a reliable source of early leaks, having previously revealed upcoming ports including Starfield, The Division Heartland, and Crash Bandicoot 4.
While not officially confirmed, the classification listing strongly suggests development is underway. Dragon Quest 11 S has demonstrated remarkable longevity across platforms since its 2017 debut, and a Switch 2 version would extend its reach to yet another audience. The move reflects publishers’ growing focus on maximizing their catalog’s platform coverage early in a console’s lifecycle.
