“We are thinking about it.” It’s the return of the mythical JRPG, but its creators admit that the remake of Dragon Quest 3 was announced “too early” – Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D.
The game, which was featured in the latest Nintendo Direct, is already set to release on November 14th.
In addition to bringing surprises such as The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom or return Metroid Prime 4the latest Nintendo Direct also served to announce the release date Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, the return of one of Square Enix’s most iconic JRPGs.

And its creators are well aware that they have revealed the existence of this project.”too early“.
At least that’s what Asano’s team says in a post after the Nintendo Direct, which was published via Bravely Default X Account: “We’ve been told that it’s been too long since we announced the start of development on (Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake), but that’s not unusual considering how all our degrees take between 3 and 4 years to complete development”, transcribed from Machine. It is worth noting that the first presentation of the project took place back in 2021.
“However, the (initial) announcement This was done too early compared to others (We’re thinking about it.) So thank you very much for waiting.” This could lead to a change in Square Enix’s philosophy when it comes to announcing its works, as it’s worth remembering that the Japanese company is going through restructuring process which also implies the implementation of new strategies in the development, promotion and launch of their video games. Therefore, it is possible that the next games from Final Fantasy owners (or at least from Team Asano) will be presented in a shorter time frame compared to their final release.
