On Dragon Quest Day 2025, Square Enix announced the release date for Dragon Quest 1 and 2 HD-2D Remake. It will debut on October 30, 2025. This will be 39 years after the first game debuted on the Famicom and MSX systems and 36 years after the JRPG’s first US debut on the NES. The base game is $59.99, and there will also be a $149.99 Collector’s Edition sold as well. They will be sold alone or in a bundle with the third game for $99.99, and playing the first two with save data from the third gets you a Dog Suit costume for the first and Cat Suit outfit for the second.

Square Enix also confirmed platforms for the return of the two JRPG games alongside the Dragon Quest 1 and 2 HD-2D Remake release date. We already knew the game would be on the Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, just like Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake. However, the Switch 2 ended up being added as well.

As a reminder, these HD-2D Remake games redo JRPG games in the same style as the Octopath Traveler series. For these two, there will also be new additions. Some of these will involve additional story elements, as well as the aforementioned new costumes tied to save data.

As for the Collector’s Edition, we know everything in it. That starts with a physical copy of the game. You also get 12 acrylic blocks standees, with six of them being human characters, one being a dog, and four being major enemies from the two games. The Outstanding Outfit Kit DLC with an Arriviste’s Vest, Mad Cap, Ring of Strength, and Slime Earrings is part of the bundle, as are two wallpapers for a PC or tablet. The pre-order bonus seeds that influence stats and Elevating Stats are also included. The Square Enix Online Store is already taking orders for it.

Here’s a photo of all that:

As part of the latest March 2025 Nintendo Direct, a new trailer for Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake appeared showing more environments and characters. The trailer reiterated that the game will be appearing in 2025, but no release date or month was shown yet.

Additionally, near the end of the new footage, an unnamed female character appeared alongside the Dragon Quest 2 protagonist. The character hasn’t been given a name yet, as the trailer only shows the party traversing new environments rendered in the remake’s HD-2D style.

The new remake of the first two Dragon Quest titles was announced back on June 2024 after being rumored to be in development alongside the previously released Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, which released on November 14, 2024. That game featured both existing content and a number of new features, such as a new class that allowed us to tame and fight alongside iconic monsters.

Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake is currently in development for the Nintendo Switch and it will appear in 2025. Other release platforms announced are PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam.

The standard and Collector’s Edition of Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake is available on the Square Enix stores in both Japan and North America. As a reminder, the game will come out on November 14, 2024.

The standard Edition, which just comes with the game, costs $59.99. Meanwhile, the Collector’s Edition of Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D costs $199.99. It’ll come with:

• Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake Standard Edition physical game
• Collectible game case storage box
• Character & monster acrylic blocks (complete set)
• Adventurous Accessory Kit (in-game items: Strength Ring, Dragon Scale, Words of Wisdom, and Cat Suit)
• 2 digital wallpapers for the PC desktop

There will also be a package where you can get the Erdrick trilogy, which consists of the first three Dragon Quest games, all at once. However, this will have to wait until 2025 and is an e-Store exclusive. You’ll be able to get the storage case, a pair of pins, and wallpaper. The third game will come with a pin of Erdrick’s sword, and the first two will have the shield. This means the set of pins can only be complete when you get both games.

Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake will come out for the PS5 and Nintendo Switch on November 14, 2024. Dragon Quest I&II HD-2D Remake will come out some time in 2025.
