At the speed Sqeenix is developing new Dragon Quest titles these days, that game will come out in 2026 earliest, too late for the Switch in any way of form.

Not really DQXI only took longer because the were two initial versions both ground up for separate platforms and even that was five years from the release on DQX, DQXI released in 2017 in Japan which makes 2022 the more likely earliest release year.

Because Horii wants a DQ in sony console, that cost too much to SE and they need a portable backup plan and launch the game too late in 3DS lifecycle. The rule, launch in a leader of sales in Japan is broken than DQ XI have to release in portable too, otherwise will diminished sales.
