Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake Showcases First Game’s New Content

Square Enix released new screenshots and details for Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake. The latest update focuses on new additions included in the remake of the first game.

The remake includes additional story content, part of which helps connect the game to Dragon Quest III. This content sees players seek to summon and gain the aid of the great spirit Rubiss by visiting the faeries, who are said to have a deep connection with her. In order to summon her, players will need to find the Dream-Whisperer, the leader of the faeries, who has gone missing. The remake also includes additional new events, including trouble involving Tantegel’s soldiers, visiting a mage who studies keys, and encountering cave-dwelling dwarves. Other new content includes new dungeons, new monster foes, and mysterious nature-imbued ingredients that can be found scattered around the world.

Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake will release on October 30, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. Dragon Quest I-III make up the Dragon Quest series’ Erdrick trilogy, with Dragon Quest III (which received the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake in 2024) taking place before the events of the first two games. The first Dragon Quest was initially released for the NES/Famicom in Japan in 1986 and in North America in 1989, while Dragon Quest II was first released for NES/Famicom in 1987 and in North America in 1990.
