Dragon Quest VII Reimagined announced for Windows and consoles
During this week's Nintendo Direct presentation, developers Square Enix and HEXADRIVE Inc. revealed Dragon Quest VII Reimagined for Windows and consoles.

The turn-based role-playing game's environment reflects a diorama-style aesthetic, while the look of Akira Toriyama's characters is patterned after hand-crafted dolls. The developers are aiming for a more streamlined storyline with optional side quests and minigames.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined will launch on February 5th of 2026, available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 consoles, along with Windows through Steam.


Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past for Sony PlayStation launched 25 years ago. The Nintendo 3DS remake developed by ArtePiazza followed in 2013.

Composed by Koichi Sugiyama, Sugi Label published Symphonic Suite Dragon Quest VII in October of 2006, featuring arrangements performed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra. All twenty orchestral renditions of music from the turn-based role-playing game are streaming on Apple Music.


From the Nintendo product page:
Join young Auster and his friends, Prince Kiefer and Maribel, as they embark on a quest to restore long-forgotten lands. Use mystical stone tablets to travel back in time and come to the aid of troubled towns. Solve perplexing puzzles and face unique monsters in classic turn-based battles to shape the world’s past and present.

In this huge adventure, you must conquer dungeons and defeat enemies that block your path. To overcome monsters, issue commands to individual party members in turn-based battles – or, if you’re confident that your party can handle the situation, you can activate “tactics” to let fights play out automatically.
