SQUARE ENIX has officially dropped a bombshell for Dragon Quest Day—the long-rumored DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake is real, it’s gorgeous, and it’s launching on October 30, 2025, for Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store on Windows.
Digital pre-orders are now live, and it gets even better: a Collector’s Edition and the full HD-2D Erdrick Trilogy Collection are also on the way.
The Epic Finale of the Erdrick Trilogy
Following the critically acclaimed Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, which wowed fans in 2024, the story now continues—and concludes—with the remake of the original two classics. This dual package includes fully reimagined versions of Dragon Quest I and Dragon Quest II, rebuilt from the ground up using the beloved HD-2D engine seen in games like Octopath Traveler and Live A Live.
This marks the final chapter in the “Erdrick Trilogy”, where players control the descendants of the legendary hero Erdrick and witness how the legacy unfolds across generations.
For newcomers, SQUARE ENIX is making it easy to experience the saga in one go with the digital-only Dragon Quest HD-2D Erdrick Trilogy Collection. This bundle includes all three HD-2D games—Dragon Quest III, Dragon Quest I, and Dragon Quest II—for $99.99.
What’s New in the Remakes?
DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake isn’t just about pretty pixels (though the HD-2D art is stunning). It includes:
- Modernized battle system
- Refined gameplay and quality-of-life features
- Never-before-seen story content
- Character and monster redesigns
- Fresh soundtrack arrangements
