In DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined, set sail on the adventure of a lifetime as a bright-eyed young hero and his childhood friends are swept away from the peaceful island they call home. Sent back in time by an ancient tablet, they learn malevolent forces have sealed away entire lands. As they find more tablet fragments and open new routes to the past, what begins as a quest for answers becomes a fight for the fate of their world, bigger and more beautiful than they could have imagined.

DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined builds on the beloved original game to deliver a modern RPG for a new generation. Akira Toriyama’s classic character designs have been reimagined into a charming, hand-crafted 3D art style, complemented by diorama-inspired environments and dungeons. The story stays faithful to the original while offering a more streamlined experience and enhanced narrative depth through optional side quests, stories and minigames. The battle system is more thrilling and dynamic than ever, with dramatic changes, including “Moonlighting” – the ability to use two vocations at once – plus the adrenaline-fueled Vocational Perks and a new Monster Master vocation for summoning monsters.

Along with the launch of the game, an extensive free demo for DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined is also available. Players can experience a free demo of DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined on all platforms and continue their adventure in the full game using carryover save data. Players who possess save data from the demo and play the full release will be gifted a unique in-game “Day Off Dress” cosmetic for Maribel.
