As those who’ve played it will tell you gladly and emphatically, Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age is easily on of the best JRPGs you’re going to play, and the game has continued to enjoy consistent and widespread critical acclaim and solid sales in the years since its release. It has, in fact, crossed another sales milestone.

In a press release announcing the initial sales figures for Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D RemakeSquare Enix also revealed that Dragon Quest 11 has now sold over 7 million units worldwide across all platforms. Its last sales update was back in 2021, when Square Enix announced that the game had shipped 6.5 million units worldwide.

Dragon Quest 11 originally launched back in 2017 in Japan for 3DS or PS4, before releasing worldwide for PS4 and PC in 2018, and then coming to the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One in the years afterwards.

In our review of the game back in 2018, we awarded it a score of 9/10, saying, “Dragon Quest 11 is a stellar game that displays a great command of the ins and outs of its genre the way few other games do. What it lacks in originality, it more than makes up for with its confident execution of ideas, showing that a game doesn’t need to be revolutionary or the freshest thing on the block to be an incredible experience. With a memorable cast of characters, a well-told, briskly paced story, stunning and vibrant visuals, and a beautiful and extremely varied world as its setting, Dragon Quest 11 serves as yet another excellent instalment in this amazingly consistent franchise.” Read the full review through here.

Square Enix is currently also working on Dragon Quest 12: The Flames of Fate. The game was announced back in 2021 and is being built on Unreal Engine 5. Details on it are scant, with director Yuji Horii apologizing for the lack of updates on the game earlier this year. Read more on that through here.
