Acclaimed by critics all over the world, DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake is a complete remake of DRAGON QUEST III, originally released in 1988, now featuring the HD-2D graphic style, a unique
blend of pixel art and 3D graphics. The story and the series’ familiar turn-based command battles
remain true to the original, but DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake also includes a variety of
additional elements, including voiced event scenes, orchestral music, a new “Monster Wrangler”
vocation, the “Monster Arena” feature for extra challenges and new story episodes featuring Ortega,
the protagonistʼs father.

Years ago, the great hero Ortega bid farewell to his wife and child on a quest to defeat the villainous
Archfiend Baramos. Ortega failed his quest, and Baramos still threatens the world. Now, on their
sixteenth birthday, Ortegaʼs only child is summoned by the king of Aliahan and entrusted with a
mission of the highest import: to take on Ortegaʼs quest, vanquish Baramos, and save the world.
