Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake Gets A Release Date, Pre-Order Bonuses, And a Collector's Edition — Here's What You Need to Know

Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake will release on October 30, 2025, on PC (via Steam and Microsoft Store), PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X/S. Square Enix has just confirmed the RPG is also coming to Nintendo Switch 2, too.

We've also had an update on what, exactly, players can get if they pre-order the game in advance, as well as details of an all-new Collector's Edition.

Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake Pre-Order Bonus

  • Elevating Shoes x 1
  • Seed of Agility x 3
  • Seed of Magic x 3
  • Seed of Defence x 3
  • Seed of Life x 3

Players with existing save data for Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake and using the same account will get the following bonus in-game items in Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake:

  • The Marvellous Makeover Kit contains:
    • Dragon Quest I: One dog suit
    • Dragon Quest II: One cat suit

The cat suit’s design will change depending on which character it is equipped to.

Square Enix stresses that all these items can also be obtained by playing the game — pre-orderers merely get them early.

Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake Collector's Edition

We've just discovered that a collector's edition of Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake is also on the way. Square Enix says quantities are "limited," so if you're keen, better hop on over to the Square Enix Store sooner rather than later.

The set includes a physical edition of the game, a set of character and monster acrylic blocks, the Outstanding Outfit Kit, and two exclusive digital wallpapers. You'll also secure the pre-order bonuses outlined above, too.

Dragon Quest I and II HD-2D Remake is a from-the-ground-up remake of the first two games in a series that all but defines the classic JRPG as a genre. While the Final Fantasy series has gone to great lengths to reinvent itself with each new installment, Dragon Quest has stayed much more true to its original aim. These are straightforward RPGs in which you guide a hero or heroes from town to town, solving problems as you go, while progressing through an overarching narrative.

"In a way, Dragon Quest’s, let’s say 'classic' storyline and trope-ish setting is easier to appreciate today than maybe a decade ago," we wrote in IGN's Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake preview. "Nowadays, with graphics as advanced as they are and storylines trying to compete with the biggest movies and TV shows, Dragon Quest is a reminder that some stories are timeless for a reason."

Square Enix dropped an update for Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake last week, improving boat travel speed, critical hit rates and abilities, and introducing a new shortcut button that lets you map spells and abilities to specific buttons.

Magic: The Gathering - Final Fantasy Creators on Choosing the Right Characters for the Cards | IGN Live 2025

Having already out pre-orders of many packs and bundles already, the Magic: The Gathering - Final Fantasy cards officially will be released June 13 and Principal Designer Gavin Verhey and Executive Producer Zakeel Gordon were on hand at IGN Live today to discuss the much-anticipated collaboration. Verhey and Gordon said that there have been other IP crossovers with Magic before, Final Fantasy was particularly exciting because, as Verhey put it, “It’s Final Fantasy! That really helps! We’ve been working on this set for about five years.” The duo noted everyone at Wizards of the Coast were big fans of Final Fantasy, noting most had been playing the games longer than they’d played Magic and means so much to them. Verhery said their approach was to incorporate something from all 15 games – which upped to 16 as they were working on the cards – which began with making spreadsheets of all the characters, items and story modes. They then split up the possible inclusions into three tiers - what...
