The latest Nintendo Direct brought gamers the first look at gameplay footage for Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake. Check it out here!
After the success of last year’s Dragon Quest III remake, Square Enix gave players the first look at gameplay from the upcoming I & II remakes during today’s Nintendo Direct presentation. Spoiler alert…it looks pretty damn swanky:
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.
Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake hits Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox consoles, and PC at some point in 2025.
