Dragon Quest’s ‘Erdrick Trilogy’ is Getting an HD-2D Remake

The iconic Dragon Quest III is getting an HD-2D remake this year, with the first two games arriving a little bit later on.

During today’s Nintendo Direct presentation, Square Enix revealed the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake (which features an expanded story on top of improved visuals) is coming to the console on November 14th.

If that’s not enough for you, HD-2D remakes of Dragon Quest I and II are also on the way at some point in 2025. Not sure why they did it in this order, but hey, we’re still getting all three so it’s tough to complain.

Set out on an epic fantasy adventure as The Hero to save the world from the dark forces of the evil Archfiend, Baramos.
