After three years of anticipation, the long-awaited update for the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake has finally arrived! A recently surfaced teaser confirms that this highly anticipated remake will be hitting multiple platforms, including all current-generation consoles and PC. While specifics about its availability on last-gen consoles like PlayStation 4 and Xbox One remain unconfirmed, we can expect more details to accompany the official game trailer.
The journey of the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake began with a dazzling trailer in 2021, showcasing its gameplay in the mesmerizing HD-2D graphical style inspired by Octopath Traveler. Despite a period of silence from Square Enix, concerns about the game’s fate were put to rest last year when franchise creator Yuji Horii assured fans that the project was steadily moving forward.
Excitement surged again recently when the official Dragon Quest Twitter account teased the forthcoming Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, announcing its launch across multiple platforms including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series consoles, and PC. This strategic move reflects Square Enix’s commitment to engaging players across various platforms.
The teaser’s inclusion of Erdrick’s emblem and the phrase “the legacy begins” hints at the game’s grand narrative, further supported by the unmistakable presence of Dragon Quest and HD-2D logos. Fans well-versed in the series lore understand that the first three games chronicle the legendary hero Erdrick’s saga, with the third installment serving as a captivating prelude to this epic tale.
As we eagerly await more news, trusted leaks suggest that additional details about the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake could be unveiled during the upcoming Nintendo Direct in June. This event promises to be a treasure trove of information for fans eagerly awaiting this iconic remake.
Looking beyond, the future holds not just the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake but also the highly anticipated mainline title, Dragon Quest 12: Flames of Fate. However, concerns have arisen regarding the latter’s development, evident from the recent departure of its producer amidst delays. For now, the community’s best course of action is to await official updates from Square Enix, shedding light on the progress of these exciting ventures into the realm of Dragon Quest.
