Seeing as Dragon Quest 1 and 2 first came out in 1986 and 1987 respectively, it’s fair to assume that many will have never played the seminal games making the HD-2D remakes a great way to discover them – though this isn’t the first time the games have been remade.

But those prior versions aren’t quite as stunning was that the Dragon Quest 1 and 2 HD-2D Remake has to offer, as can be seen in the screenshots.

As for when you’ll be able to get your hands on it, the Dragon Quest 1 and 2 HD-2D Remake releases 30th October 2025 for Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PS5, PC and Xbox Series X/S.
