Here it is, the announcement that Dragon Quest fans have been eagerly awaiting. While Dragon Quest 3 received a nice update just two days ago, we were wondering if the Dragon Quest 1 & 2 Remake would take advantage of the Summer Game Fest to specify its release date, scheduled for this year. It finally appears that we won't have to wait until then to find out since without warning, Square Enix and Artdink Corporation have finally released the information, with other little surprises to be announced.
Dragon Quest 1 & 2 Remake reveals its release date
It is therefore on October 30, 2025 that Dragon Quest 1 & 2 will be released, completing the Elric trilogy after the release of the remake of the third opus at the end of 2024.
