You’ve likely played – and beaten – Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake by now, so it’s time to look forward to the next retro re-release in Square Enix’s iconic RPG series.
And with 27th May marking Dragon Quest Day, we now have confirmation that Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake will release on 30th October for the PS5, priced at £59.99/$59.99. Pre-orders are open now, with the Trouble-Free Travel Kit available as a bonus.
Said in-game bundle features the following items, all of which can also be unlocked through gameplay:

- One pair of elevating shoes
- Three seeds of strength
- Three seeds of defence
- Three seeds of agility
- Three seeds of life
- Three seeds of magic
Those of you who have save data for the previous game will also get a dog suit in Dragon Quest 1 and a cat suit in Dragon Quest 2, so there’s incentive for owning all three. Again, though, these can be unlocked through ordinary gameplay as well.
As you’d expect of an HD-2D re-release, both games feature a combination of polygonal and pixel art. But Square Enix has also reworked some aspects of these classic titles, adding new story and even battles against multiple enemies in the original Dragon Quest.
A collector’s edition will be available exclusively on the Square Enix Store, but frankly it doesn’t look all that enticing, featuring acrylic blocks of some of the characters and enemies from the game, as well as a couple of digital wallpapers.
