Shortly after the surprise announcement that Dragon Quest XI is in development for both PS4 and 3DS, a small handful of new screenshots have surfaced.

The eleventh main installment in the smash JRPG returns to the more traditional adventure campaign style following the MMO diversion of Dragon Quest X.

The 3DS version also features a curiously cool feature whereby you can choose whether the play the game in lovely stylized 3D, or with retro 2D sprites, following the opening section of the story.

Dragon Quest XI is being prepped for a release some time in 2016. The game's creator also divulged that it is being considered for release on Nintendo's next-generation NX platform.
