Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate to run on Unreal Engine 5

It'll be on the Switch as well, or the successor depending on how long the game takes to release.
Unreal 5 is confirmed for Switch already because it's that scalable.
After XI S I'm sure Square learned to use the latest build of UE, haha.
Imagine if they did "coming to NX" thing again, Nintendo would have been so mad.
Oh nevermind then. Its still going to be Switch then lol.
I wonder if it will have RTX or DLSS?

"UE5 represents a generational leap in both workflows and visual fidelity, extending the engine's support for DirectX Raytracing, NVIDIA DLSS, and NVIDIA Reflex, and adding new features such as Nanite and Lumen that make it faster and easier for games to implement photorealistic visuals, large open worlds and advanced animation and physics."

Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) is available in Early Access, delivering the next-generation engine from Epic Games that will further propel the industry forward.

It's going to release on the Switch, unless Sony is willing to pay billions of dollars to effectively pay for any and all Japanese sales.

Unreal Engine 5 works on last gen systems too, as well as mobile, the question is what features are used. If they are going for the full suite of Nanite and Lumen and make the game's visuals around that, it would probably be pretty large in file size and likely impossible to run on a regular switch. I doubt that personally, but we dont have many details yet.
This probably also explains why are they so vague on platforms in general.
As it should be.
UE4 helped DQXI development to go on smoothly plus the game looks freaking amazing.
I'm so much in love with the Unreal Engines since EU4 <3

They're still prototyping or have just finished it. It's absolutely in early dev stages.
oh right they did say they were still experimenting the combat so I guess we're gonna wait for awhile.
Development started in 2019 but pandemic + engine changes probably points to a 2023 release.
Yes.
Not all versions have to use Nanite or Lumen, there are other options.
Well that doesn't really tell us much with regards to what platforms it'll be on
I don't see a Switch successor coming out that soon, tbh. Otherwise there wouldn't be much of a point to the Pro later this year if they were gonna replace everything in 2 years time
For those who are asking, we first heard of DQXII under development back in January 2020 saying it is under development since last year 2019.
So don't expect XII to be out before sometimes in 2024.

I can't see them skipping out on all those OG Switches currently in consumer hands in Japan.
One can start a project on UE4 and then move it to UE5. Same thing is happening with HellBlade 2.
Also Teams usually move around and help finish other team's projects.
You gotta be more precise when asking "since DQ11 shipped" because they effectively had to develop this game like ... 4 times.
Working on DQ XI S then porting that stuff to bunch of other consoles
Well if they're going down an iterative approach, you could see a few exclusives on the pro. It may be powerful enough to run last gen games, so we could see some ports of them exclusively on the system.
A game can run on UE 5 and not use any of the new intensive features- it might just use the new efficiencies.
