During yesterday's Nintendo Direct, it's been confirmed that Dragon Quest XI Definitive Edition will release on Nintendo Switch this Fall, a full year after the game released on PC and PlayStation 4. This new version of the game will come with additional content, but it seems like there's the chance that the new features will also come to the regular version of the game.
Wall Street Journal's Takashi Mochizuki spoke with Square Enix regarding the possibility of the Dragon Quest XI Definitive Edition content hitting the PS4 and PC releases. The publisher, apparently, is undecided on the matter, so nothing is set in stone as of now.
本日のNintendo Directで「ドラクエ11S」には各キャラクターが主人公になる新ストーリーが追加される旨発表がありました。これを受け、スクエニに「PS4版の方でもアップデートやDLCの形で追加されるご予定ありますか」と質問したところ、「未定です」との回答をいただきましたので、ご報告いたします。

Dragon Quest XI Definitive Edition will come with an optional 2D mode which was originally included in the 3DS version, as well as fully orchestrated field and battle music, a fast-forward option to speed up combat, Japanese and English voiceovers and more. The game will also feature new story elements and new quests which will further develop the main party members.
