System: Switch 2
Release date: February 5, 2026
Developer: Square Enix / HexaDrive
Publisher: Square Enix
Dragon Quest 7 is a game with a reputation. A reputation for what, may you ask? A reputation for being one of the longest slogs not only in Dragon Quest history, but in the history of traditional JRPGs as a whole. As Square Enix continually looks into its long history for games that modernize and enhance for a modern audience, there are few title in their catalog more in need of a refresh than this one. So it was with much rejoicing that Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined was announced last year. The question we must ask ourselves, now that the game has finally arrived on store shelves, is can Square Enix do enough to turn this controversial entry in its longest-running series into yet another beloved remaster?

One of the bigger talking points surrounding Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined when it was first revealed was its graphics, which Square Enix has officially labeled as “doll-like art style”.

Ichikawa explained that the team wanted to come up with a look that would be appealing worldwide. Also, Square Enix was looking to “depict the depth and feel of Dragon Quest 7’s story more vividly”.
