Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake slated for release on October 30th
Developed by Artdink Corporation and Team Asano, Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake will launch on October 30th for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S consoles, alongside Windows through Steam.

Placing players in the roles of the descendants of Erdrick, the remake of the NES role-playing games incorporates the Octopath Traveler series' HD-2D art style, combining pixel art characters and 3D backgrounds. A newly introduced female character appears toward the ending of the teaser trailer streaming on the Dragon Quest YouTube channel, depicted both in pixel art and in the key art illustration by Naoki Ikushima.

Sugi Label's "Symphonic Suite Dragon Quest I" by series composer Koichi Sugiyama was published in collaboration with Aniplex in 2007, featuring the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra. The compact disc ships from distributor CDJapan.
