There’s no telling how long the wait for Dragon Quest 12: The Flames of Fate is going to be, but thankfully, it’s not like fans of Square Enix’s beloved RPG series don’t have other things to look forward to. Next month, for instance, Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake will be releasing, and along with showcasing new gameplay footage and comparing how it looks with the original title, the company has also released an overview trailer that offers details on the upcoming RPG’s story, combat, world, and more. 

As the prequel to the very first Dragon Quest, Dragon Quest 3 is the first chronological entry in the Erdrick Trilogy, and sees players playing as the child of Ortega, a legendary warrior who once set out on a quest to defeat the archfiend Baramos, but was unable to actually finish his mission. Now, it falls to you to take up your father’s quest and finish what he started.

Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake is, as you would expect, also going to faithfully recreate the original’s old-school JRPG gameplay, which means you can expect plenty of overworld exploration, a variety of different towns and dungeons to visit, turn-based combat against many different monster types, and more. There’s also a Vocations system at play, which will let you set your party members with a number of different classes, each bringing their own unique abilities, including a new Vocation in the form of the Monster Wrangler

Check out the overview trailer below for more details on the game. 

Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake will launch on November 14 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC, with Dragon Quest 1 and 2 HD-2D Remake set to release sometime in 2025.
