Dragon Quest 1 and 2 HD-2D Remake Has “Surprises” for Those Playing Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake

While Square Enix's Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake is currently the center of attention, its intention to breathe contemporary life into the rest of the Erdrick trilogy with the launch of Dragon Quest 1 and 2 HD-2D Remake next year is not to be overlooked. One might be lured to bypass the third game and initiate with the others, despite the third installment being first in the trilogy chronologically.

Yet, Square Enix, in their latest gameplay and sneak peeks (via Gematsu), made it clear that there would be "novel, unexpected elements" waiting for players who engage with Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake before diving into Dragon Quest 1 and 2 HD-2D Remake. The specifics of these aspects are yet to be revealed - it could be that certain choices from the third installment might influence the subsequent games, leading to particular rewards.

In the meantime, enthusiasts can anticipate the launch of Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake on November 14th. This game will be accessible on multiple systems, including the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Players will enjoy three different difficulty settings and various graphic modes, ensuring a customizable gaming adventure.
