One of this year's most important Xbox events for JRPG lovers is the arrival in December (included in the Game Pass) of Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes ofa Lost Era - Definitive Edition , which finally marks the debut of the historic saga on the Microsoft platform. If you were waiting to play it, from today you can try the first 10 hours thanks to the playable demo just published on the Store: more than enough to decide on a possible purchase!

The demo showcases new features and improvements specific to the Final Edition, including the ability to speed up combat, audio in English and Japanese, symphonic soundtrack, and a Photo Mode with which to capture beautiful scenery. This content is just a small part of the full game, which offers new character stories, an improved creation system and an option to play the entire title in 2D like the classic DRAGON QUEST. Progress made in the demo can be transferred to the full game,released on December 4, 2020. As an additional bonus, those who complete the main scenario of the demo will get three "skill seeds", which when consumed each give an extra skill point that can be used both in the demo and after deciding to continue the adventure in the full game.

As always, you can download the demo by searching the store on the console, or by appending it from this page. Have fun!
