Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake is a full re-imagining of the first two titles in the Dragon Quest series in Team Asano's famed HD-2D artstyle which fuses high-quality pixel art with 3D graphics. It includes a full remake of Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest II.

This dual pack was announced following the reintroduction of Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, which used to have no new announcements after its original reveal. It will be released on October 30, 2025 for the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam. For the Nintendo Switch 2, physical copies will only come with a game-key card.

New features edit

Scenario changes edit

The Princess of Cannock is now a party member accompanying the Scions of Erdrick on their quest to stop Hargon.
New story segments such as Belial incinerating a Babygoyle and a new Manguini monster, as well as another attack by monsters.
The Scions of Erdrick now have to collect medals from their home kingdoms of Midenhall, Cannock, and Moonbrooke in order to be worthy of visiting the Pillar of Winds.
The Sun Sigil is now found on a pedestal near the outskirts of the Fire Shrine.
Mini Medals have been added to both games.

Presentation edit

Re-imagined locations and HD-quality sprites.
Certain areas have been slightly modified to account for the perspective changing from the classic top-down view to the pop up book style found in other HD2D titles.
Orchestral soundtrack.

Character changes edit

The Prince of Cannock has been buffed considerably, as opposed to how weak he infamously was originally.

Battle changes edit

The hero of Dragon Quest I now battles multiple enemies at once rather than only one at a time originally.
New skills have been added to all of the heroes. They can learn them by finding ability scrolls located in side-quests, dungeons, and hidden areas.
You can now view Enemy Info while battling them by clicking the right stick.
Targeting a monster with an elemental attack it is weak to displays a red marker over it, and doing so with a resisted element displays the marker in blue.
Enemies from later entries of the main series and enemies of the first entry for II are added in Dragon Quest I and Dragon Quest II, such as Bubble slimes in the former and Scornets and Drackolytes in the latter.

Others edit

Having saved data of Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake allows players to receive animal costumes for the playable characters. For the hero of Dragon Quest I, it is the Dog suit, based on a shiba-inu. For the heroes of Dragon Quest II, it is a Cat suit, which are based on the different colors of cats.
