SQUARE ENIX® announced today that DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake, the RPG that IGN called “a shining example of how to remake a classic RPG,” has surpassed 2 million units in worldwide shipments and digital downloads. The game, which launched globally on Nov. 14, is currently available for Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam® and Microsoft Store on Windows.
Acclaimed by critics all over the world, DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake is a complete remake of DRAGON QUEST III (originally released in 1988), now featuring the HD-2D graphic style, a unique blend of pixel art and 3D graphics. The story and the series’ familiar turn-based command battles remain true to the original, but DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake also includes a variety of additional elements, including voiced event scenes, orchestral music, a new “Monster Wrangler” vocation, the “Monster Arena” feature for extra challenges and new story episodes featuring Ortega, the protagonist’s father.
Additionally, the classic DRAGON QUEST III story fans know and love, which is chronologically first in the “Erdrick Trilogy,” has been refined to better tie-in to the events of DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake. DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake is planned for release next year.
DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake is perfect for anyone who thoroughly enjoyed the previous versions, newcomers to the DRAGON QUEST franchise and gamers of all ages – even those who don’t typically play RPGs.
DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake is now available for purchase via the Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store and Steam.
