Square Enix's Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake might be a bit of a mouthful, but it just looks better and better each time we see it. A brand new trailer has been released, providing an overview of how the game plays as we approach its 14th November launch date.
The PS5 title looks beautiful, combining old with new to achieve that eye-catching "HD-2D" look. Chronologically speaking, DQ3 is the first game in the Erdrick trilogy, so this will be a good point for newcomers to jump into the series — especially with remakes of 1 and 2 coming next year.
If you're unfamiliar, Dragon Quest is a classic fantasy RPG series in which you travel the world, explore towns, and fight monsters in turn-based battles — all with character designs and artwork from the late Akira Toriyama. The above trailer covers the basics, including a vocation/class system for your party members. This remake includes a new monster wrangler class that, as the name suggests, makes use of abilities from the monsters you encounter.
We can't wait to get stuck into this later in the year. How are you feeling about Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake? Journey into the comments section below.

It does look cute. The game itself is brilliant too, only played the SNES version but it was a big step up from 1 and 2.
Instabuy for me
I'm interested in this but the price is too high at £60 so I'll wait for a sale. If this released for about £35-40 I'd likely pick it up day one.
So can’t wait for this!!!
DQIII might as well be my favorite rpg of all time. Can’t wait.
So just to make sure I got this right DQ3 is technically the first one followed by 1 and 2?
@pharos_haven Yeah, you’re a descendant of Erdrick in the first two games. They’re a sort of mythical figure in those games so 3 finally tells the story of them.
I still need to finish Octopath Traveller II, so I might just wait until all 3 games are out and start from the first one.
My goodness, this looks absolutely jaw dropping. Dragon Quest 8 and XI are some of my favorite RPGs of all time, and this looks like it will be joining the list. I really can’t wait for November.
Looks amazing is the story/game any good though?
This looks like an absolute dream, probably day one buy - if I manage to finish ReFantazio by then.
I need FFVI in the 2.5D style!
This and Thread of Time look so damned good!
Wasn't Toriyama at his peak during the SNES era? "Late" would be like the Sandland game.
The game is great I give it that, I had a great time playing it originally. But yay another remake for Sony.
Advantage of these announcements is I every time I see one, there is no real advantage to getting a PS5 Pro, thus saving some money. So the industry is really helping my decision so thank you Square Enix.
Although have to admit its a perfect kind of game for the PS Portal.
Quick note: I do also realize they do this for the younger people that just didn't have opportunities to play on PS1/PS2/PS3 eras.
Definitely seems like the best implementation of HD-2D to date. I've only played 1, 2, 8, and 11, so this'll be a treat.
