Japanese version:
The game collection will launch on October 30 for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Windows.
The game is available for pre-order, and a limited collector's edition is available for pre-order exclusively on the Square Enix store. Aside from the game's physical copy, the collector's edition includes a set of character and monster acrylic blocks, the Outstanding Outfit kit, two exclusive digital wallpapers, and another pre-order bonus.
The "HD-2D" remake of the Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation game launched for Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Windows in November 2024. Those who have save data from the remake of Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation will get a "dog suit" for Dragon Quest I and a cat suit for Dragon Quest II in the remake.
The "HD-2D" art style evokes sprite-based art, but with 3D backgrounds and dynamic lighting and effects, similar in style to Square Enix's earlier Octopath Traveler game.
Enix/Square Enix have ported the first three games in the series to multiple platforms, including the Super Famicom, Game Boy Color, Wii, and smartphones. The first three Dragon Quest games launched on Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation 4 in Japan in August 2017, and got releases on Switch in September 2019 worldwide.
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, a remake of the 2000 Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past PS1 game, will launch on February 5 for Switch 2, Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store on Windows.
