Square Enix may have had horrible luck with major releases failing to perform commercially in recent months and years, but thankfully, Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake has bucked that trend.
Square Enix has announced that Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake has sold over 2 million units. The turn-based remake launched halfway through November, so clearly it has enjoyed solid momentum where early sales are concerned. Upon launch, the game had sold whopping 820,000 physical units in Japan alone, to give you an idea of how it has started off.
In our review of the remake, we awarded it a score of 9/10, saying, “Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake is a prime example of enhancing a classic without taking away the things that made it so endearing. It’s a must-play experience and well worth diving into for fans of the original.” Read the full review through here.
Next year will see Square Enix releasing Dragon Quest 1 and 2 HD-2D Remake, which it will likely be hoping to see similar sales for. Meanwhile, the company has also shared updated sales figures for Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age.
Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
