[Koby]

 

One of the six games revealed during Square Enix's Dragon Quest 35th Anniversary live stream earlier today was Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake.

 

According to the game's producer, Masaaki Hayasaka - who has previously worked on games such as Octopath Traveler, the "HD-2D style" combines pixel art with 3D effects to produce a sense of depth and atmosphere like nothing else.

 

The development team is aiming for a worldwide simultaneous release on home consoles, so a Switch release sounds promising. The release date of the game hasn't been decided yet, so stay tuned for that.

 

They also slipped up during the announcement and suggest that Dragon Quest I and Dragon Quest II would receive the same HD-2D Remake treatment at some point.
