The critical reception for Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake has been overwhelmingly positive, currently boasting an impressive 85 Metascore on Metacritic. This collection marks the grand finale of Square Enix’s “Erdrick Trilogy” remake initiative.

All three Dragon Quest HD-2D Remakes feature beautiful pixel art, rerecorded soundtracks, updated gameplay, and new content.
Standard Edition Details
Pre-ordering Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake nets you the Trouble-Free Travel Kit.

Physical copies are available for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox Series X at major retailers. Note for Nintendo Switch 2 players: the physical edition comes as a Game-Key Card requiring a 17GB download.

Collector’s Edition Details
As of October 29th, the Collector’s Edition is currently sold out. Priced at $150, this special edition includes the base game for Switch, PS5, or Xbox Series X (or a Game-Key Card for Switch 2), along with all pre-order and carry-over bonuses. It also boasts a wealth of exclusive collectibles and DLC. Here’s a look at what was included in the Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake Collector’s Edition:
- Dragon Quest I & II HD Remake base game
- 12 Acrylic Character & Monster Figures
- 2 Exclusive Downloadable Wallpapers
- The Outstanding Outfit Kit, featuring these in-game equipment items: 1x Strength Ring, 1x Pair of Slime Earrings, 1x Mad Cap, 1x Arriviste’s Vest
This Collector’s Edition was available exclusively through Square Enix’s official online store.
As previously highlighted, Dragon Quest III acts as a prequel to the first two games, with all three forming the legendary “Erdrick Trilogy.” While these titles share strong narrative links, they are set centuries apart, meaning you don’t strictly need to play Dragon Quest III first (the original release order was I, II, then III).
Dragon Quest Illustrations: 30th Anniversary Edition
For fans who appreciate the franchise’s visual history, the Dragon Quest Illustrations: 30th Anniversary Edition art book is a must-have. This beautiful hardcover features 240 pages filled with over 500 illustrations by the late, legendary artist Akira Toriyama, who shaped the look of the series from 1986 to 2023. It even includes a fold-out poster detailing the franchise timeline.
Exciting news for Dragon Quest enthusiasts: another classic, Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, is slated for release on February 5, 2026. Announced during the September Nintendo Direct, this title will be available on Switch 2, Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X. Pre-orders are currently open for $60.
