We’re a month away from the release of Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined, an upcoming remake of the 7th entry in the legendary Dragon Quest series that’s set to be released on Xbox Series X|S (with Xbox Play Anywhere support), PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 1 & 2, and PC via Steam on February 5, 2026.
Square Enix has decided to whet fans’ appetite for this title by announcing a free playable demo for Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined, which will be available to download on the aforementioned systems on January 7, 2026.
After completing the demo, you will be able to carry over your progress to the full game and unlock a bonus “Day Off” cosmetic outfit for the party member Maribel in the full version.
I personally never played the original PS1 version, but I do have fond memories of playing the Nintendo 3DS version of Dragon Quest VII for its lighthearted story, massive world abundant with secrets, zany yet tough enemies, and complex character class system.
So I’m looking forward to seeing how this new version differentiates itself from the 3DS remake while standing on its own two feet and paying homage to its legacy when Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined releases on February 5, 2026.
