In addition to presenting surprises such as The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom or the return of Metroid Prime 4the last Nintendo Direct has also served to announce the release date of Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, the return of one of Square Enix’s most iconic JRPGs. And the community had been waiting for news about this title for a long time; specifically, more than three years. And its creators are fully aware that they revealed the existence of this project “too soon“.
At least, that’s what Team Asano says in a post-Nintendo Direct post that was shared via Bravely Default X account: “We have been told that it has been too long since we announced the beginning of development [de Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake]but this is not unusual seeing that all our degrees take 3 to 4 years of development”, transcribed from Automaton. It should be noted that the first presentation of the project took place back in 2021.
“However, the (initial) announcement It was done too soon compared to others (We are reflecting on this). So, thank you very much for waiting.” This could lead to a change in philosophy at Square Enix when it comes to announcing its works, as it is worth remembering that the Japanese company is going through a restructuring process which also implies the execution of new strategies in the development, promotion and launch of its video games. Therefore, it is possible that the next titles from the owners of Final Fantasy (or, at least, those from Team Asano) will be revealed with a shorter time frame compared to their final release.
More Dragon Quest remakes in 2025
Be that as it may, the community is now ecstatic about Square Enix’s latest announcements. Because, in addition to confirming the already mentioned Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake for the November 14thit has also been announced that fans they will have a Dragon Quest I & II Remake at some point in 2025. In this way, the Japanese company makes sure to give a second life to the classic installments of one of its most emblematic JRPG sagas.
