Ahead of the launch of Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake on the Nintendo Switch and multiple other platforms this month, Square Enix has released a lovely new trailer for the game.
It showcases the many environments you'll explore across this classic world as well as some of the enemies your party will encounter along the way. And it's all backed by the iconic Dragon Quest theme!
Square Enix has also shared some absolutely stunning artwork alongside this announcement on social media:
"Birds of a feather #DragonQuest III HD-2D Remake takes flight in just two more weeks!"
If you're curious to learn more about this game, we've also shared 15 minutes of gameplay footage on our YouTube channel, and we've got some commentary between Jim, Alana and Felix based on their own time with the title so far.
This particular release will be followed up by remakes of Dragon Quest I & II at some point in 2025.
Will you be adding this game to your Switch library later this month? Let us know in the comments.

I mean no disrespect here, but there are way too many Rpg games now it's getting tedious seeing them all.
the more I see and learn about this game, the more I want it.
I'm not too keen on spending a full $60 USD price tag on a 10 - 15 hour RPG, but... it bears replaying, and it looks really nice.
@LadyCharlie Is this true? I haven't play DQ-3 original yet. I checked the gameplay in metacritics gameplay of DQ-3 original is about 28 - 33½ hours.
If the JP release is uncensored, that's the one I'll get.
If not, it'll save me roughly $200.oo
@Iskandy results may vary. it depends on how much of a completionist the player is, as well as willingness to XP grind.
So excited for this! The wait is killing me!
@Spider-Kev Hate to break it to you, but it's the same globally.
Really don’t like the combat. You can’t see your fighters. They couldn’t even update that?? Really took me out of the experience. You made a beautiful game but left the bland combat scenes the same. Stupid.
Mmh i only dont like the battle system part, id like to see my characters like in Octopath traveler. Even tho i like what i see, i dont like the "first person mode battle system"
And i hate fact that i dont like that part, because i am a big rpg fan.
Looks great. Still need to finish XI, I’m about 70 hours in.
i played the nes version when it first came out i cannot wait to play the hd-2d remake..
i could swear in earlier clips you can indeed see your fighters in battle we need some clarification on this..
@johnedwin you're not wrong and they show them here. I think they're just not visible when you do an action, but you see them while you're choosing what to do? Not sure why the changes in perspective
i wish there were still Pokémon games with 2d sprites. Black/White was peak 👌
Fingers crossed I'll be able to start this as soon as my physical copy arrives despite all the games I'm already playing (and Mario & Luigi as that comes first for me - I'm that big of a Mario fan)!
@Miss_Moon yes, i rewatched the launch and they had.
In the end im sure i prefer seeing the sprites. But having played earthbound in the past year or so I'm kinda down for something hybrid and this isn't a bother to me. Really looking fwd to it
I'm avoiding as much gameplay as possible because I don't want to be spoiled. This was a day 1 purchase for me since announced lol
I'm avoiding watching the trailer for spoiler reasons, plus I was already sold way back when this was announced. Thing is, it's on my Christmas list, so that means I have to wait until after the season to see if it shows up in my gift pile lol. I have plenty of games to contend with for now.
Now THIS is the kind of soundtrack I would love to be added to Nintendo Music! Would be a great way to promote the game's launch 🥺
I don't really like DQ but this looks SO PRETTY!!!
