Unveiling Dragon Quest VII Reimagined: A Journey Through Doll-like Worlds and Mysteries

Square Enix has released a new trailer for Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, the remake of its classic PlayStation 1 game, which is finally coming to Europe. Remade for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 (details unconfirmed), and PC, Dragon Quest VII Reimagined arrives on February 5, 2026. Square Enix released the trailer early to encourage holiday sales. The trailer introduces the game’s world, monsters, and puzzles and shares narrative details to provide a basic understanding. Ahead of release, a Game Informer writer visited Square Enix’s Shibuya headquarters in Tokyo to preview the game, interview the development team, and examine the dolls that inspired the remake’s distinctive art style. Game Informer obtained exclusive footage of every party member. The writer also interviewed director Masato Yagi about the doll-like character designs and diorama-style aesthetic of Estard and its surrounding areas. Yagi discussed the team’s collaboration with Studio Nova, a Japanese doll studio, to create the dolls. Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined features updated graphics, smoother gameplay, enhanced character progression, and a story filled with mystery. Players help restore a fragmented world by discovering hidden tablets that unlock paths to lost civilizations.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined’s Enhanced Battle System and Moonlighting Jobs

The battle system includes options to accelerate combat and use auto-commands. The revamped job system introduces “Moonlighting,” allowing characters to hold two jobs simultaneously. One new job, Monster Master, enables players to summon assistant monsters in battle. Additionally, players can activate the “Let Loose” ability when a character becomes highly energized. The release of Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is also expected for Nintendo’s unannounced Switch 2 console, though this remains speculative.
