Exciting rumors have surfaced about Square Enix potentially developing a complete remake of the beloved 2000 JRPG Dragon Quest 7: Fragments of the Forgotten Past. According to insider reports, this would continue the company's recent trend of revitalizing classic Dragon Quest titles for modern gaming platforms.

The Dragon Quest series has demonstrated remarkable staying power since its 1986 debut, spanning multiple console generations from NES to PS5. While Dragon Quest 11 (2017) remains the latest mainline entry, Square Enix has recently focused on remakes, including 2024's Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake and the upcoming Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake compilation set for 2025.

Industry sources suggest the Dragon Quest 7 project differs from recent HD remakes, being described in internal documents as a full remake rather than just a graphical upgrade. This implies potential gameplay enhancements and content additions to the original PlayStation title.

Latest Game Information

The rumored release window points to Q4 FY2025-26 (January-March 2026) or early FY2026-27 (April-June 2026). If accurate, this would mark Square Enix's third consecutive year of Dragon Quest remakes following Dragon Quest 3 (2024) and Dragon Quest 1 & 2 (2025).

Originally released in 2000, Dragon Quest 7 featured an epic time-traveling adventure where players restored forgotten lands through puzzle-solving and turn-based combat. The game introduced an expansive job system with over 50 vocations and monster recruitment mechanics.
