7. Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake

An HD-2D remake of Dragon Quest III was released last November, with Square Enix opting to remake the third game first for two reasons - it's the entry that truly popularised the RPG franchise, and it serves as a prequel to the first two games.

Even though remakes of the first two Dragon Quests were announced at the same time as Dragon Quest III 2D-HD, fans remain anxious as to whether they'll actually hit their planned 2025 release dates, especially as their development is surely contingent on the commercial success of the third game's remake.

Thankfully fans can rest easy given that Dragon Quest III 2D-HD blew past Square Enix's sales expectations, and given the publisher's tendency for over-estimating potential sales, that's really saying something.

And so, there's no reason to doubt that the other two announced remakes will release before the end of 2025 as planned, allowing a whole new generation of fans to enjoy this feted RPG trilogy.
