The upcoming PS4 and 3DS release of Dragon Quest XIis looking amazing in the latest batch of screenshots.

The PS4 version of the game is using Unreal Engine 4 and Square Enix are clearly doing their utmost to leverage the series’ classic visuals with a modern game engine.

The 3DS version also has a wonderful 3D and 2D split across the dual screens. While this won’t be present across the whole game it’s a wonderful thing to see nonetheless.

Historically Dragon Quest was Enix’s foil to Square’s Final Fantasy but since both companies merged they have pooled their expertise across both franchises.

The improvements for the Dragon Quest games have been very marked, with this latest entry being a great example.

Set for a Japanese release next year, Dragon Quest XIwill be out on both PS4 and 3DS. In addition there is a rumored release on Nintendo’s upcoming NX console as well. There is currently no news of a Western release as yet.
