Square Enix has announced it is bringing back Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past in a new PS5 version pitched as a Reimagining. It’s releasing on 5th February 2026, and you can catch the debut trailer above.
The new Reimagined version of Dragon Quest 7 includes “charming diorama visuals, updated gameplay mechanics, and a streamlined story”. The main narrative has been streamlined to make it more accessible to newcomers, and will now be told through “a series of vignettes with an overarching narrative”.
Meanwhile, the battle system has been overhauled with new vocational perks, battle speed adjustments, and an auto-battle option. “Battles can progress without interruptions between each turn, depending on the tactics selected for the protagonist and allies. While on the field, players can pre-emptively strike monsters and instantly defeat them If the monster is weaker than the party.”
The title costs £59.99 / $59.99 for the base version, or £69.99 / $74.99 for a Digital Deluxe Edition packing bonus items and two days of early access. Digital pre-orders are available now.
