Square Enix has released a new trailer for the Dragon Quest VII Reimagined demo, showing players what to expect in the playable teaser.

Announced yesterday, the free demo is available starting today on Switch 1 and 2, as well as other systems.

The video provides a glimpse at the beginning of the grand adventure, along with a tease of some story elements. Protagonists Hero, Kiefer, and Maribel are seen setting off on their journey to learn the secrets behind their homeland, before finding themselves lost and surrounded by monsters.

 

 

The demo offers several hours of gameplay, and players can use the save data to resume the adventure in the full game. Participants will also be rewarded with a unique in-game “Day Off Dress” for Maribel in the full release.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined will launch on February 5th, 2026, for Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
