Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined Demo Out on PS5 This Week, Opening Movie Is a Masterclass

Square Enix has revealed the full opening movie for Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined, and in a word, it's magical.

The movie takes full advantage of the remake's diorama-esque visuals, dropping its puppet-based characters into delightfully detailed environments as they battle against beasties big and small. We think it's pretty much a masterclass in selling the overall tone of Dragon Quest.

But the bigger story here is that the video ends with a surprise message, which confirms that a playable Reimagined demo will drop later this week, on the 7th January. Any progress you make in said demo will carry over to the full game.

Completing the demo will also net you the 'Day Off Dress' — an additional outfit for Maribel.

Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined is set to launch for PS5 on the 5th February, but are you gearing up for adventure? Gather your party and pick a class in the comments section below.
