Square Enix will celebrate the 35th anniversary of " Dragon Quest " on Thursday, May 27, 2021.
To commemorate the 35th anniversary, a special "Dragon Quest" 35th anniversary program will be broadcast on Thursday, May 27, 2021, from 12:00 p.m., with the latest information on the "Dragon Quest" series.
Among them was the official announcement of the development of a remake of one of the most popular games in the Dragon Quest series, "Dragon Quest III: And to the Legend..."!
A remake with beautiful and nostalgic HD-2D graphics!
This time, it was announced that a remake of "DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake" of "DRAGON QUEST III And to the Legend...", the third title in the Dragon Quest series released for the Family Computer in 1988, will be developed. quot;It's a remake of "DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake"!
This immortal masterpiece has been remade for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), Game Boy, and other platforms, and now you can play a version based on the remake on PS4, Nintendo Switch, smartphones, and other platforms.
This remake is titled "HD-2D Remake," and "HD-2D" is a technique used to add 3D effects to dot-based backgrounds to create a unique three-dimensional feel and atmosphere, which is also used in "Octopath Traveler. Octopath Traveler".
As you can see from the teaser movie, the graphics are both beautiful and nostalgic, so it will be a game that can be enjoyed by those who played the original version back in the day, those who are of the generation directly affected by the remake, and those who have yet to play it.
The reason why they decided to remake the third Dracula III game, even though it is a popular game, is because, according to Yuji Horii in the special program, Mr . Horii had the strongest feelings for Dracula III, so he decided to start with Dracula III! He said in the special program that Mr. Horii had the most passion for Dracula III.
He also said that he would like to continue with I and II if he can!
As a fun fact, in the original, if you played through I, II, and III in that order, you would get an unexpected turn of events in III, but in the remake, you can play through III in the same order. If you play III, I, and II in that order, I'm thinking of a surprising development at II. But in the remake, it's not so surprising!
The great people at SQUAENI warned him about this, so it really was a bit of an oopsie information, lol.
DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake" will be released simultaneously worldwide for the home video game market!
The release date and other details are still to be announced, so we'll have to wait for further news!
