Square Enix is following up last year's release of Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D
Remake with the remade versions of the first two games in the franchise. In
celebration of the original game's release on May 27, 1986, the company has
announced that the Dragon Quest 1 and 2 HD-2D Remake set is arriving on
October 30 on the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, the PlayStation 5, the Xbox
Series X and the PC via Steam. Chronologically, the first two games in the
franchise take place after the events in the third game. It revolves around
the hero who went on a journey to complete the quest started by their father,
a legendary warrior, to defeat the demon lord Baramos.

Dragon Quest 1 and 2 revolve around the descendants of that hero, who
received the title of "Erdrick" after the events of the third game. Both
games are turn-based RPGs, wherein players can control the actions of all the
members of a party. They, like the other games in the franchise, feature
character designs by Akira Toriyama, who's mostly known for creating Dragon
Ball. Players can expect high-definition 2D graphics, brand new major story
additions, a refined battle system and other quality-of-life updates with the
remake set.

The digital and physical versions of the Dragon Quest 1 and 2 HD-2D Remake
set are now available for pre-order for $60, except for the digital Switch
and Switch 2 games that will be available at a later date. Pre-orders will
come with free in-game items, but the CollectorΓÇÖs Edition will also come
with digital wallpapers, six characters, a dog and two boss monsters. And for
those who didn't get the third game's remake last year, Square Enix is
releasing a digital-only Erdrick Trilogy Collection with all three games on
the same day.
