Some bad news for fans of Dragon Quest on the Switch.

Due to Square-Enix  focusing on Dragon Quest XI for 3DS and PS4, the Switch port has been less of a priority.  The developers have revealed that even the initial planning for the Switch port has taken longer than usual, and this is in fact due to the work being done on the PS4/3DS versions.

As such, we may have to wait quite a while.
