Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake
Square Enix – TBA 2025
Game publishers haven’t always done a great job of preserving their own history, but Square Enix absolutely nailed it when it set out to remake the Erdrick Trilogy, the first three games in the classic Dragon Quest series. While Dragon Quest 3, which is chronologically the first title in the trilogy, was released last year, we’ll get the second and third chapters of hero Erdrick’s story in a 2-in-1 package, with modernized visuals but the story and turn-based combat fans already love. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to play these three classic JRPGs, 2025 is the time.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
Retro Studios – TBA 2025
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond hasn’t had the smoothest development journey over the last decade. Originally in development at Bandai Namco Studios, Retro Studios, the original creator of the Metroid Prime series, took over production in 2019 at the behest of Nintendo, which set the game back years. But despite the bumps in the road, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond looks like a spectacular return for the series. What we’ve seen so far from the trailers looks a lot like the classic Metroid Prime experience—lots of first-person blasting, morph ball action, scanning, and Space Pirates to take down—but with shiny new visuals and a new story, which we know will involve the bounty hunter Sylux, who’s hellbent on taking down Samus once and for all.
