Overview

  • Reports from MP1st and internal documents indicate a full Dragon Quest VII remake is planned for the fiscal year ending March 2026 or early 2027.
  • The project is described as a ‘remake’ rather than an ‘HD remake,’ implying substantial changes to gameplay systems and art direction.
  • Square Enix has not yet officially announced the title or confirmed its release window, leaving timelines subject to change.
