■About DRAGON QUEST

The DRAGON QUEST series is known for putting players in the shoes of its protagonists as they set out on an adventure to vanquish a great evil. It is one of Japan's most famous role-playing game (RPG) series.

The first entry in the series, DRAGON QUEST I, released in 1986. This approachable RPG was the result of a collaboration between game designer Yuji Horii; world-famous manga artist and Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama; composer Koichi Sugiyama, whose orchestral score was unlike anything else in games at the time; and programmer/director Koichi Nakamura. The title proved to be a social phenomenon upon release and birthed the series that we know today.

The franchise is known for combining classic RPG worlds with modern technology that allows for new, creative ways to play. These traits have garnered countless loyal fans worldwide, and to date the 100 DRAGON QUEST titles, including 11 mainline entries, have shipped/sold over 88 million physical and digital copies.

While the stories told in each game differ, the worlds, music, and characters will feel familiar to anyone who has picked up a DRAGON QUEST title, meaning you can expect an authentic experience no matter where you start.

Finally, DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake will be releasing on November 14.
Doubtless, lots of you have never had the chance to play the original.
We hope you are all looking forward to checking out a title which many consider the foundation of the entire series.
