Square Enix has announced that Dragon Quest XI: Echoes Of An Elusive Age has crossed a massive sales milestone, no doubt thanks to the recent release of Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition for Switch.

According to Square Enix’s figures, Dragon Quest XI has now sold more than 5.5 million copies since its release in 2017, combining figures from PlayStation 4, Steam, 3DS and Nintendo Switch. In response to this overwhelming achievement, Dragon Quest series creator Yuji Horii had this to say:

I strongly believe that this figure has only been achieved thanks to our fans who have always loved the DRAGON QUEST series and also the new players who discovered DRAGON QUEST or JRPGs through this title. If I could ever go back in time to meet myself when I was still making the very first DRAGON QUEST, I would love to tell him, ‘In 30 years’ time, DRAGON QUEST XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age has been released and loved by international fans beyond seas and languages.’ I will carry on doing my very best to deliver further DRAGON QUEST titles to our fans worldwide. Thank you very much to all the fans who have enjoyed the title!
