Today marks three years since Square Enix first announced their plans to remake Dragon Quest 3 using the popular Octopath Traveler HD-2D engine. Fans have been eagerly awaiting news about this remake, and finally, on May 27th, we were treated to some new information on the project. This update has left many with more questions than answers.
The teaser released on Dragon Quest Day featured a brief video showing the outline of the Dragon Quest logo with the caption “The legend of Erdrick draws near.” While the teaser did not specifically mention Dragon Quest 3, it hinted at something much bigger – possibly expanding the remake to include the entire Erdrick trilogy. This suggests that the remake may not be limited to just Dragon Quest 3 but could encompass all three games in the series that follow the legendary hero Erdrick.
Gaming experts have analyzed the teaser, pointing out that the logo shown represents the entire Dragon Quest series, not just the third installment. The mention of “the legend of Erdrick,” a central figure in the trilogy, further supports the idea of a more comprehensive remake. While the teaser alludes to the beginning of the story with the phrase “The legacy begins,” it leaves room for interpretation regarding the scope of the project.
As excited as fans may be about the possibility of a trilogy remake, it is essential to approach this news with caution. While a Dragon Quest 3 remake is confirmed, there has been no official confirmation of remakes for the other two games in the Erdrick trilogy. With the summer event season approaching, we can only hope for more clarity on Square Enix’s plans for the beloved series.
The future of the Dragon Quest series is a topic of much anticipation and speculation among fans. The recent teaser for the Dragon Quest 3 remake has sparked discussions about the potential for a broader project that includes all three games in the Erdrick trilogy. While nothing is set in stone, the teaser has certainly generated excitement and curiosity about what Square Enix has in store for one of gaming’s most iconic franchises. Only time will tell if the legend of Erdrick will indeed draw near in a new and expanded form.
