Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is being created from scratch and will be released on February 5, 2026, on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Switch 2.
As the publisher emphasizes, this is not a port of the Nintendo 3DS version, but a completely updated game with a modern visual and mechanical foundation. Dragon Quest VII Reimagined uses the style of " оживших диорам" (living dioramas) — visually, it is a combination of three-dimensional environments with a vibrant artistic style and designs by Akira Toriyama.
The plot is still based on the story of heroes restoring a destroyed world. However, the narrative has been reworked: it now develops faster and smoother, as the protracted fragments of the original have been removed. New side quests, mini-games, and additional story arcs have been added.
Significant changes have also affected the combat system. Reimagined will feature the Let Loose mechanic — powerful techniques that can be activated in a certain state. The Moonlighting system is also introduced, allowing you to combine two professions at once. One of the new ones will be Monster Master — this class allows you to summon creatures to fight on the hero's side.
In addition to the standard release, Dragon Quest VII Reimagined will receive a collector's edition with a plush slime, a ship-in-a-bottle model, and a metal case, as well as a digital deluxe version with early access for two days and additional content packs.
