During the latest Nintendo Direct yesterday, we got our first look at DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake‘s gameplay. This upcoming collection contains full remakes of both DRAGON QUEST I and DRAGON QUEST II. SQUARE ENIX’s latest press release mentions that the collection is scheduled to launch for Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Windows and Steam sometime later this year, 2025. A more specific release date has not yet been announced at this time. Feel free to check out the new trailer down below in case you missed it yesterday, and read a bit about DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake, from the latest press release.
The new trailer showed off gameplay for the first time, as players take control of the descendants of Erdrick, the legendary hero whose legacy is passed down through generations in these games. Last year’s DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake chronologically takes place before DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake, so players can continue the story in these games and complete the revered Erdrick Trilogy or pick up and play this compilation as a standalone adventure.Developed by SQUARE ENIX Team Asano, HD-2D is a critically acclaimed graphic style that combines pixel art characters with 3D backgrounds, then adds high-definition visual effects to deliver a nostalgic, yet fresh visual style. DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake is the sixth title produced in the HD-2D style.
