Rumors about remakes within the Dragon Quest saga are gaining momentum once again. This time, it’s journalist Jason Schreier, known for his reliable leaks in the industry, who has hinted that Square Enix is working on a new version of Dragon Quest VII. He made the comment in an informal response on social media, where he suggested that the game is real, although with a more contained scope.

Schreier hasn’t provided technical details or confirmed platforms, but he did make it clear that it won’t be a large-scale remake like Final Fantasy VII Remake. In his words: “I think it’s safe to say that Square wants to remake as many Dragon Quest games as possible for modern platforms.” This reinforces the idea of a continued strategy of re-releases within the saga.

The remake of Dragon Quest VII would be real, but with a more classic focus

Although Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake will arrive on Xbox Series on October 30 with a revamped visual style, the possible remake of Dragon Quest VII could aim for something more traditional, perhaps with improved graphics, an updated system, and minor adaptations. The original title, released on PS1 in 2000 and on Nintendo 3DS in 2016, is one of the most extensive and complex in the franchise.

For now, Square Enix has not officially confirmed the project, and it’s unknown if it would also come to Xbox. However, given the company’s multi-platform shift in recent years, it’s not entirely ruled out. For now, everything remains in the realm of rumor, but coming from a source like Schreier, many fans already take it for granted that Dragon Quest VII will return sooner rather than later.
