After a long time without having anything more than a few images, square enix returned to show the expected Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake. This game will bring back one of the most important installments of the series Dragon Quest with a visual style in “HD-2D”, a term coined by square enix to describe their games that blur the line between 2D and 3D, and which began to be used with Octopath Traveler.
Within the framework of the Summer Game Fest 2024 We were able to try this new version of the classic and immediately what could already be intuited after the new trailers of the game was obvious: Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake It just looks amazing. The graphics engine used by square enix received many improvements since the release of Octopath Traveler in 2018, and this remake seems to take it to the limit of what is possible.
Of course the game needs changes to adapt to modern times, but it is delicate to modify things without losing the essence of the title itself. What we were able to try shows a good translation of those design decisions to what one wants from a JRPG today, but even so there are probably people who, when trying it, realize that it is a game from almost 40 years ago. The question is how much this remake will be able to attract JRPG fans more accustomed to the ways in which the genre is handled in these times.
In the video above we tell you all the details and what we thought of what we were able to try in the Summer Game Fest 2024 of Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remakethe new of square enix. The game will be available on November 14 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, nintendo switch and PC.
