I’ve been playing Dragon Quest 3. That’s something I’ve been able to say six times over the course of my life, and each time I was technically talking about a different video game. Weird, right? One of the world’s most purely old-school RPGs,

With just two weeks to go untill the release of Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, Square Enix has released a new trailer for this remake of the 1988 NES classic. And even if you didn’t play the original,

Dragon Quest III has already seen a couple remakes, but the previous ones simply gave it a facelift while keeping the core of it rooted in the past. Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake will be coming out in a couple of weeks and this appears to be the most ambitious remake of the title yet.

It seemed strange that possibly Square Enix’s most well-known series, Dragon Quest, hadn’t received the remake treatment, but it appears that the publisher was saving up to make something special. Dragon Quest 3 is the first in the series to receive a remake complete with the HD 2D style you might recognize from games like Octopath Traveler or Triangle Strategy.
