Square Enix teases Dragon Quest 3 remake, but is it legit

Square Enix has provided an intriguing update on its Dragon Quest 3 remake after a three-year silence. The company's latest teaser, released on Dragon Quest Day, hints at the classic RPG’s return in an Octopath Traveler-like HD-2D style. This short teaser, showcasing the iconic Dragon Quest emblem and hints about its unique visual style, raises questions. Interestingly, the teaser text states "The legacy begins," encouraging speculation that the remake could encompass the entire Erdrick Trilogy rather than just Dragon Quest 3 alone. Additionally, the teaser confirms the game will be available on Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. As we approach the not-E3 season, fans anticipate a more concrete announcement from Square Enix.

The Erdrick Trilogy refers to the first three games in the Dragon Quest series, which revolve around the legendary hero Erdrick. These games—Dragon Quest I, II, and III—set the foundation for the series' mythology and are celebrated for their storytelling and gameplay. With the potential for a full trilogy remake, fans are excited to revisit these iconic RPG titles with modern graphics and enhancements.

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation originally launched in 1988 and is revered for its engaging narrative and innovative class system. The HD-2D remake promises to blend nostalgic elements with contemporary graphics, bringing the classic adventure to new and returning players across various platforms.
