Square Enix has a new prologue trailer, along with several screenshots from the prologue, for Dragon Quest XI: In Search of Departed Time. The prologue depicts the mother of the hero trying to save him from evil forces as a baby.

Dragon Quest XI will be a thematic return to the origins of the series, where players will take control of a reincarnated hero who has saved the world once before in a previous life. The game will premiere in Japan on July 29, 2017, for the PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo 3DS. A Nintendo Switch version is planned for some time after the game's initial release. There is no word yet on an English release.
