First screenshots for Dragon Quest XI

Square Enix has posted the first screenshots for the recently announced Dragon Quest XI, set to release on both PlayStation 4 and Nintendo 3DS sometime in 2016.

Like Kingdom Hearts 3, the PS4 version of Dragon Quest XI  is utilizing Unreal Engine 4. The 3DS version will feature two different artstyles - for the opening sections of the game, the top screen displays stylized 3D action, while the bottom screen shows classic 2D sprite-based overworld exploration and battles. At a certain point, one artstyle will have to be chosen to continue the game, but can be toggled at any time.

See the images below.
