New Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake Trailer Focuses on Erdrick’s Legacy

Despite its lack of presence at Nintendo of America’s recent Direct Partner Showcase, the much-anticipated Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake made a special appearance during the Japanese version of the event. The new trailer showcases the legacy of Erdrick, from the first game to the second game. This comes after last year’s release of Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, a prequel to I & II.

Check out the new trailer below:

Where do these games fall in the Erdrick saga? Here is a brief description of Dragon Quest from the Steam page:

DRAGON QUEST I Story:

Thanks to the heroic efforts of the legendary Erdrick, the Lord of the Underworld was defeated and peace returned to the land of Alefgard. Yet this peace was not to last, as the diabolical Dragonlord has risen and unleashed hordes of monsters on the realm once more. Now, descendant of Erdrick, it is your destiny to defeat this new evil and rescue the world from its plight!

DRAGON QUEST II Story:

Many years have passed since Alefgard was saved at the hero’s hand, earning him the same title as his storied forebear. The descendants of this Erdrick and his scions founded three kingdoms that thrived in peacetime. Yet, darkness stirs once more and a sudden invasion of malicious monsters plunges the world into shadow again. All that stands between the forces of evil and their wicked ambitions is a band of young princes and princesses of Erdrick’s lineage. The time has come for them to venture forth and honor their ancestor’s legacy!
