The recent announcement of Square Enix’s Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake has sparked speculation among fans that a trilogy remake could be in the works. While the latest update has not explicitly mentioned the first two games, a reliable leaker named Midori has hinted at the possibility of a trilogy release including Dragon Quest I, II, and III.
In a recent video, the phrase “legend of Erdrick draws near” was used alongside the “HD-2D” logo, leading to further speculation about a trilogy remake. Erdrick is the hero in the third installment of the series, and the original three games are often referred to as the ‘Erdrick Trilogy’ or the ‘Loto Trilogy’ in Japan.
According to the leaker Midori, fans may hear more about the potential trilogy release at the next Nintendo Direct. The release of the trilogy is rumored to be before the end of the current fiscal year, adding more excitement to the speculation surrounding these classic games.
With the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake being announced in May 2021, speculation about a trilogy release sheds light on the possible reasons for the lengthy development time of the project. The consideration of remakes for Dragon Quest I and II by series creator Yuji Horii further adds to the anticipation of a trilogy remake.
