A classic is reborn this November when Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake releases
After years of radio silence, Square Enix have finally revealed that Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake will arrive this November 14 for Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Check out the all new trailer below.
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is a stunning reimagining of the beloved masterpiece and narrative beginning to The Erdrick Trilogy – the first three games of the mainline Dragon Quest series. Featuring vibrant HD-2D graphics, new and modernised features, and a refined narrative, players are invited to set out on an epic fantasy adventure to save the world from a dark evil.
If you have never played the game before, here is the story set up, as provided by Square Enix.
Years ago, the great hero Ortega bid farewell to his wife and child as he set off on a quest to defeat the villainous Archfiend, Baramos. Ortega failed his quest, and Baramos still threatens the world. Now, on their sixteenth birthday, Ortega’s only child is summoned by the king of Aliahan and entrusted with a mission of the highest import: to take on Ortega’s quest, vanquish Baramos, and save the world. Accompanied by a band of travelling companions chosen in the beginning of the game, players are immersed in a vast HD-2D world full of towns, dungeons, and caves, meet fascinating characters, and fight ferocious monsters in enhanced turn-based battles.
The game will arrive this November 14, but in 2025 the first two Dragon Quest titles will also get the Remake treatment. We don’t have any screens of those games, but we do have this art.
