Square Enix streamed the new Opening video for its upcoming Dragon Quest Game, Dragon Quest VII REIMAGINED on Monday. Accompanying this announcement was the launch of a brand-new playable game demo.
According to the press release, the game demo was launched two days ago (January 7th), players will be able to start their adventures early and enjoy several hours of content from the beginning of the game, then resume their adventure using save data that carries over to the full game when it launches on Feb. 5, 2026.

Dragon Quest VII REIMAGINED is a remake of the 2000 Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past PS1 game that is separate from the Nintendo 3DS remake. The game builds on the original game to deliver a modern RPG for a new generation. Akira Toriyama’s classic character designs have been reimagined into a charming, hand-crafted 3D art style, complemented by diorama-inspired environments and dungeons. The story stays faithful to the original while offering a more streamlined experience and enhanced narrative depth through optional side quests, stories and minigames. The battle system is more thrilling and dynamic than ever, with dramatic changes including “Moonlighting” – the ability to use two vocations at once — plus the adrenaline-fueled “Let Loose” ability and a new Monster Master vocation for summoning monsters.
