Dragon Quest VII Reimagined was surprisingly announced at the Nintendo Direct in September even before possible remakes of Dragon Quest IV, V , and VI were announced . Many fans wondered why Part VII was being made first.

When asked why it was “not 4-5-6, but 7,” [B]he replied[/B]: A lot of things are happening right now, but it just happened to be completed first. When asked whether this meant that IV, V and VI were not planned, [B]Horii evaded the question[/B]: I didn't say that (repeated three times)[/I] [HEADING=1][I]Development of VII went particularly smoothly[/I][/HEADING] [I]Later in the conversation, [B]Horii emphasized again[/B]: As I said, we want to make the games playable on current platforms. With VII, there was simply a development phase that progressed very well. Host Naz Chris asked whether Part IV's chapter structures might result in longer development times. [B]Horii just laughed and said[/B]: In the foot, in the foot ...[/I] [HEADING=1][I]Release date for Dragon Quest VII Reimagined[/I][/HEADING] [I]Dragon Quest VII Reimagined will be released worldwide on [B]February 5, 2026[/B] for:[/I] [LIST] [*][I][I]Nintendo Switch and Switch 2[/I][/I] [*][I][I]PlayStation 5[/I][/I] [*][I][I]Xbox Series X|S[/I][/I] [*][I][I]PC (Steam & Microsoft Store)[/I][/I] [/LIST] [I]Horii indicated that remakes of Dragon Quest IV-VI are not out of the question – but currently Dragon Quest VII is simply further along in development.[/I] [/QUOTE]
