Square Enix released Dragon Quest XI in the Western market last year. They had already released it in the Japanese market where it launched in July 2017. It was localized and released for the Western market almost one whole year later, in September 2018. After the release of Dragon Quest XI, the next game is Dragon Quest Builders 2 which is out later in July.
