Square Enix has confirmed that Dragon Quest 1+2 HD-2D Remake will launch on October 30, and added Nintendo Switch 2 as a platform.
Last November, Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake was released, reimagining the NES classic in the same visual style as games like Octopath Traveler 2 and Triangle Strategy. Before that had even launched, Square Enix had teased that the first two games in the Dragon Quest series, which chronologically take place after Dragon Quest 3, would be getting the HD-2D Remake treatment next and released together in one bundle. GameSpot has gone hands-on with these remakes and called them "a stunning marriage of classic pixel art and modern touches."
Previously confirmed for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch, this upcoming remake is now slated to release on Nintendo's new console. It's the third Square Enix game confirmed for Switch 2, following Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster and Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade. It will cost $60 across all platforms, although it's worth noting that the Switch 2 physical version will come on a Game-Key Card and require a download to play.
For those who don't own any of these Dragon Quest games yet, Square Enix is offering Dragon Quest HD-2D Erdrick Trilogy Collection, a $100 digital-only bundle that comes with all three HD-2D Dragon Quest remakes. A $150 Collector's Edition of Dragon Quest 1+2 HD-2D Remake will also be released and come with a physical copy of the game, a character and monster blocks set, in-game items, and digital wallpapers.
