While all eyes are on Square Enix’s Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, the company looks to modernize the rest of the Erdrick trilogy when Dragon Quest 1 and 2 HD-2D Remake launches next year. It may be tempting to skip the third game and start with the others, even though the former is chronologically the trilogy’s first.
However, as part of the newly released gameplay and previews (via Gematsu), Square Enix confirmed “brand-new surprises” for those who play Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake and then Dragon Quest 1 and 2 HD-2D Remake. What those could be remains unknown – perhaps some decisions will carry over into the latter and unlock specific rewards.
In the meantime, Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake launches on November 14th. It will be available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Nintendo Switch, featuring three difficulty settings and multiple graphical modes. Head here for more details, or check out the latest gameplay here.
