Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Platforms Confirmed

Square Enix has officially confirmed the platforms for the highly anticipated Dragon Quest III HD-2D remake. The game will be available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Steam, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S. This announcement comes as a relief to fans who have been eagerly waiting for more information since the game was first revealed in May 2021.

Platforms Announced

The HD-2D remake of Dragon Quest III will utilize the unique art style seen in games like Octopath Traveler, Live A Live, and TRIANGLE STRATEGY. This blend of 2D pixel art and 3D environments creates a nostalgic yet modern visual experience. Fans can look forward to playing on their preferred platform, whether it’s on the go with the Switch or at home on a PS5, PC, or Xbox.

Insights

Development updates for this remake have been scarce. The most recent information came in September 2023, when series creator Yuji Horii mentioned that development was “progressing quite steadily.” The latest tease posted on Twitter to mark Dragon Quest Day showcased a short animation of the franchise’s Mark of Erdrick, captioned with “The legend of Erdrick draws near.”

Fans hope that this tease signals a forthcoming release date announcement. With Square Enix’s history of utilizing the HD-2D art style effectively, expectations for the Dragon Quest III remake are high.

Square Enix’s commitment to the HD-2D style has been evident with the success of previous titles. The announcement of the platforms reassures fans that they will soon enjoy this classic game with a fresh, visually appealing look.
