The 35th anniversary of Dragon Quest is fast approaching this May, and Square Enix likely has a lot planned for their original JRPG series. In the meantime, gamers can now play Dragon Quest 11 S: Echoes of an Elusive Age Definitive Edition on Google Stadia, allowing a whole new audience to try out this iconic Japanese franchise.

Dragon Quest 11 S initially began as a Nintendo Switch exclusive, an upgraded version of the original Dragon Quest 11 that came out on Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation 4. This upgraded version came out on other consoles just last December, replacing the original Dragon Quest 11 with this definitive take.

Now, the definitive edition of Dragon Quest 11 is on Google Stadia, initially being listed at a unique discounted price. The JRPG can currently be purchased for $31.99, but will revert to a $39.99 price on March 30th. Those ready to check out this title on Stadia can do so immediately, as the game was shadow-dropped alongside its announcement this morning.

Former exclusives being ported to other consoles is never a bad thing, especially for a game as beloved as Dragon Quest 11 S. Google Stadia's audience being able to check out this title makes this sudden announcement a welcome surprise for JRPG fans.

However, the audience for Google Stadia is a bit small, so it is unknown how much of an impact this port will make. Google Stadia has reportedly done much worse than expected, with poor advertisements, not many exclusives, and an oppressive price point being common points of contention. While all of those points are still definitely at play, at least those who have adopted Stadia can now play one of the most popular JRPGs in recent years.

Dragon Quest 11 S: Echoes of an Elusive Age Definitive Edition is available now on Google Stadia, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
