Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age is a role-playing video game developed and published by Square Enix. An entry in the long-running Dragon Quest video game series, it was released in Japan for the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation 4 in July 2017, and worldwide for the PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Windows in September 2018.
The game is set in the fantasy world of Erdrea where it's said that The Great Tree of Life was the source for all life in it, a gigantic tree in a floating island in the middle of the world. The player takes the role of a young man with a strange birthmark on his left hand turning age 16 from Cobblestone Village where he grew with his childhood friend of the same age, Gemma. In a coming-of-age tradition of the village he must climb a great mountain, where it's said the spirits of the earth dwell. Upon his success the protagonist finds out that he's actually the reincarnation of a hero, who saved the world before and must again go on a mission against forces of darkness, described by other characters as the "Lord of Shadows" and the "Dark One". To better understand his role as a hero he leaves his hometown and starts travelling around the world.
