Dragon Quest VII Reimagined Showcases Its Cast, New Details Revealed
Square Enix released a new trailer and screenshots for its upcoming title Dragon Quest VII Reimagined , a full remake of 2000 title Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past . The ninety-second trailer introduces the main cast and an adult version of the protagonist's friend Kiefer. In addition, the company provided details about a new storyline centered around the adult version of Kiefer, as well as the game's streamlined progression and main quest.
Players will meet an adult Kiefer when they visit the Rucker region of the past. They will be tasked with sneaking into Rucker Castle and helping Kiefer solve his troubles. Players will be able to fight alongside the adult Kiefer, who can support them in combat with items and powerful abilities. Players may also be able to enlist Kiefer's help beyond the Rucker region.
While Dragon Quest VII Reimagined retains core aspects from the original game, it is said to feature streamlined progression and fuller character development. Players must collect the fragments of broken stone tablets, and fit them all back together to open new locations to visit. Each new location faces a set of the problems the player is tasked with solving. Resolving these problems causes changes in the protagonists' world, such as the appearance of new islands.
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined features a diorama-style aesthetic, with characters based on the original designs of Akira Toriyama that have been crafted into dolls created in the real world. The game's narrative is said to be faithful to the original game, with changes made to provide a more streamlined story experience. It will include optional side quests, stories, and mini-games. There will also be various quality-of-life improvements, including a redesigned UI.
Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past originally released for PlayStation in Japan in 2000 and in North America in 2001 as Dragon Warrior VII . The game received a Nintendo 3DS remake in Japan in 2013, which was later released in North America and Europe in 2016, and was also released on mobile in Japan in 2015. The game starts on Estard Island, an idyllic kingdom in a world with no other apparent landmasses. However, a group of childhood friends uncovers a way to travel back to the past, when other continents existed, and are able to restore them in the present. Dragon Quest VII Reimagined will release for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2 on February 5, 2026, with pre-orders available now.
