To celebrate Dragon Quest Day, which marks the anniversary of the release of the original Dragon Quest game in Japan, 39 years ago today, on May 27, 1986, Square Enix has announced that Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake – the narrative continuation and ultimate conclusion of last year’s Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake – will launch on October 30, 2025. The game is coming to a variety of formats, including Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Digital pre-orders have also opened starting today.
