Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake takes us back to the beginning. In the first title, we take on the start of our hero’s journey as he heads out to save a princess from the evil Dragonlord. In the second entry, we hop a few generations of peace to see a new terror strike the lands. We then set out to find a rambunctious Prince who is a pivotal part of forming the party that will be the key to rebuilding and protecting the land that was won long ago.
DRAGON QUEST I & II HD‑2D Remake brings the first two pillars of the Erdrick Trilogy into stunning modern form. Remade by Artdink under Square Enix, this dual release merges beloved classic RPG adventures with new narrative content, quality‑of‑life upgrades, and refined combat systems. Players assume the roles of descendants of Erdrick as they battle darkness enveloping Alefgard and venture across expansive lands, dungeons, seas, and hidden realms to save their world.
While retaining turn‑based combat, the remake deepens it with fresh mechanics like scrolls and sigils that unlock enhanced abilities, new dungeons, and an underwater region in Dragon Quest II never before seen in the original. The remake also introduces brand new scenarios that tie the two games more closely into the greater Erdrick storyline, with expanded story arcs, encounters with previously unseen characters, and updated dialogue to enrich the experience.
Scheduled for worldwide release on October 30, 2025, it launches on Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Windows.
