Square Enix is prepping a remake of Dragon Quest VII, according to a new report. The RPG originally launched on PlayStation in 2000 in Japan and 2001 in the US, with this new take supposedly set to arrive sometime in 2026.
According to MP1st, the Dragon Quest VII project is labeled as a “remake” instead of an “HD remake,” like the recent Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake that arrived last year. So the RPG could be receiving much more than just a fresh coat of paint, such as gameplay alterations. Before then, however, Square Enix has Dragon Quest 1+2 HD-2D Remake set to launch on October 30.
Interestingly enough, Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake producer Masaaki Hayasaka stated earlier this year that he would love to tackle Final Fantasy VI next. Hayasake made it clear this was just his personal preference while also noting that the beloved RPG was a major reference point for Octopath Traveler, the first HD-2D game.
