Dragon Quest 1 + 2 HD-2D Remake now has a confirmed release date, and a trilogy edition has also been announced.
The game will be available on 30th October this year across Switch, Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (Steam, Windows).
Dragon Quest 1 + 2 HD-2D Remake follows the release last year of Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, which went on to be a huge sales success for Square Enix – particularly in Japan.
The Dragon Quest HD-2D Erdrick Trilogy Collection will be digital-only and include all three games in one collection.
“Some excellent enhancements make this the ultimate version of Dragon Quest 3, but it could still do more to make it wholly welcoming to newcomers,” reads our Eurogamer review of Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake.
The release date of the Dragon Quest 1 + 2 HD-2D Remake has been confirmed, and a trilogy edition has also been revealed.
On October 30th of this year, the game will be accessible on the Switch, Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (Steam, Windows).
The game’s physical version for the Switch 2 will be a Game-Key Card, which means it will only have a download key instead of the entire game data.
This will be the case for most third-party Switch 2 games, such as Bravely Default: Flying Fairy, which was released by sq\. Enix. The upcoming Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade may or may not do the same.
However, the Switch 1 version will be playable on the new console and will come with the game on the card.
Following the release of Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake last year, which proved to be a huge sales success for sq\. Enix, especially in Japan, comes Dragon Quest 1 + 2 HD-2D Remake.
The third game in the series was released first because it is chronologically the first, and the first two games were confirmed to have been released in a post-credits scene.
All three games will be included in the Dragon Quest HD-2D Erdrick Trilogy Collection, which will only be available digitally. On the same day, October 30, it will launch on all platforms.
According to our Eurogamer review of the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, “This is the best version of the game, but it could still do more to make it completely welcoming to newcomers.”.
