Dragon Quest I and II HD-2D Characters Introduced

Square Enix took to social media to share official art and character profiles for all of the people in the JRPG collection Dragon Quest I and II HD-2D. It included insights into the Princess of Cannock, who is a new addition in the upcoming remake. Each image also shared official art alongside the sprite used for the person in-game.

In the case of Dragon Quest I HD-2D, only two characters from the remake appeared. This is due to the fact that the original was so limited and focused only on our avatar, whose ancestor is the legendeary hero Erdrick. So one of the profiles Square Enix shared with us focuses on him, and the other looks at Princess Gwaelin, who he saves from the Dragonlord.

Here are those two character profiles:

The profiles for Dragon Quest II HD-2D cover all four playable characters in the remake. In the original game, the Prince of Midenhall, Princess of Moonbrooke, and Prince of Cannock headed out to defeat Hargon. While the Princess of Cannock appeared in the original game, she wasn’t an actual ally. Here, she’ll also be playable and fight alongside the other descendants.

You can see those four profiles below:

Dragon Quest I and II HD-2D Remake will come to the Switch, Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on October 30, 2025.
