Dragon Quest VII Reimagined: A Sneak Peek at the Opening Cinematic and Demo Release (2026)

Get ready for an epic adventure! Square Enix is about to drop a demo for Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, a remake of the beloved 2000 RPG, and the opening cinematic is already here to tantalize your senses. But here's where it gets controversial... the demo is launching on multiple platforms, including PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, Switch, and Steam. And get this: progress from the demo can be transferred to the full game, unlocking an exclusive outfit for Maribel called the "Day Off Dress"! Now, that's a treat for fans. But here's the part most people miss... the demo is just the tip of the iceberg. The full game is set to launch on February 5, and it promises to be a visual and auditory masterpiece. The opening cinematic showcases the game's stunning visuals and soundtrack, and even features a familiar scene that served as the cover image for our Dragon Quest VII Reimagined magazine issue. So, if you're a fan of the series, you can catch up on all the deep-dive features, like this video breaking down the game's doll aesthetic, and our interview with producer Takeshi Ichikawa and director Masato Yagi about their approach to remaking the game. But wait, there's more! Subscribers can read our full Dragon Quest VII Reimagined cover story and our complete retrospective on the entire Dragon Quest series, featuring creator Yuji Horii.
