Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake Receives Extensive New Gameplay Footage

As promised recently, several new previews and gameplay of Square Enix’s Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake are available. You can check out how the overworld exploration, menus, battles and much more play out below, courtesy of Famitsu.

Developed by Team Asano and Artdink on the same engine as Octopath Traveler, Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake takes place in Aliahan. As the child of the legendary Ortega, players embark on a quest to defeat the Archfiend Baramos. The remake allows for customizing one’s appearance (with A and B options available), and the UI has seen several revamps.

Environments like forests, deserts and tundras await, with various dungeons, towers and caves to discover treasure. A day/night cycle is in place, and like the original, there are random battles. Upon entering battle, the perspective swaps between showing your party and a first-person view when dealing damage.

Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake is coming to Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on November 14th. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.
