PlayStation Plus adds Dragon Quest 3 remake this November

PlayStation Plus will feature the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake this November. Sony confirmed two games for the subscription catalog: the acclaimed JRPG remake and the upcoming Dynasty Warriors: Origins.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake arrives on November 17. It will be available to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers. The game, developed by Square Enix, launched in November 2024 on PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X/S. It is a new take on the 1988 NES classic Dragon Quest 3, which is a prequel to Dragon Quest 1 and 2 and forms the revered Erdrick Trilogy. The original is considered one of the greatest JRPGs of its era.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins coming in December

Dynasty Warriors: Origins is scheduled for December as the second confirmed PlayStation Plus title. It will also be available on the Extra and Premium tiers, though no exact date has been given. The game was released in January 2025 on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S. It serves as a retelling of the original Musou saga with an original point-of-view character. It had some classic series issues but was warmly received by both old-school fans and newcomers.
