Dragon Quest VII Reimagined Feb 5 2026 on PS5, Xbox, Switch and PC

Square Enix will release Dragon Quest VII Reimagined worldwide on February 5, 2026, the company announced, delivering a ground-up remake of the PlayStation era role playing game to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC. The publisher said the reimagining pairs a handcrafted, diorama-style visual overhaul with sweeping gameplay and story changes, but it also confirmed that the Switch 1 and Switch 2 versions will be sold as separate, incompatible releases and that the Switch 2 physical edition will use Nintendo's Game Key Card format.

The remake revisits the long, island-hopping story of the original Dragon Quest VII, in which heroes from the island of Estard uncover fragments of an ancient tablet and travel through time to confront a Demon Lord. First released on PlayStation and remade for Nintendo 3DS in 2013, the title has long been noted for its size, with main-story playthroughs historically stretching toward 100 hours. Square Enix said the new edition streamlines pacing and trims some subplots while adding fresh scenarios intended to flesh out the world.
