Over the course of the past year or so, fans of the Dragon Quest series have had it very good. While Dragon Quest XII still seems to be a ways away, the wait has been totally fine thanks to all of the amazing remakes to tide us over. Not only did we get HD-2D remakes of the original trilogy, but thanks to today’s Nintendo Direct, we now have news of an entirely new one. The long-awaited remake of Dragon Quest VII, Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, has finally been confirmed, and it’s headed to Nintendo Switch 2 early next year!
The trailer kicks off with a zoom in to the island of Estard, the last known island left in the world of Dragon Quest VII Reimagined. It continues with a look at this beloved story retold in a brand-new style reminiscent of the artwork for the original game. With these enhanced visuals to capture the magic of the original in a brand-new light along with the wonderful story to go along with it, the game is looking great already.
