We knew it was in the works, but now we know when it’s launching. Square Enix has just confirmed that Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake will see release on Oct. 30th, 2025, and even better, the game will make its way to both Switch and Switch 2. When it comes to physical options, please note that the Switch 2 version will be a Game-Key Card release. As for file size, Dragon Quest I & II HD Remake is 17 GB.
The official Japanese website for Dragon Quest also mentions that fans will be able to get the Dragon Quest HD-2D Remake trilogy in one digital download.

Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake is a stunning reimagination of the first two legendary adventures in The Erdrick Trilogy, brought together in one package.
Dragon Quest I Story
Thanks to the heroic efforts of the legendary Erdrick, the Lord of the Underworld was defeated and peace returned to the land of Alefgard. Yet this peace was not to last, as the diabolical Dragonlord has risen and unleashed hordes of monsters on the realm once more. Now, descendant of Erdrick, it is your destiny to defeat this new evil and rescue the world from its plight!
Dragon Quest II Story
Many years have passed since Alefgard was saved at the hero’s hand, earning him the same title as his storied forebear. The descendants of this Erdrick and his scions founded three kingdoms that thrived in peacetime. Yet, darkness stirs once more and a sudden invasion of malicious monsters plunges the world into shadow again. All that stands between the forces of evil and their wicked ambitions is a band of young princes and princesses of Erdrick’s lineage. The time has come for them to venture forth and honor their ancestor’s legacy!
