Square Enix has revealed that its recent slate of HD game releases has proven successful. In its recent financial results briefing, the company pointed out that Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake specifically was responsible for a rise in operating income.
Interestingly, Square Enix also points out that the game performed better than originally expected. Net sales totalled up to ¥60 billion, leading to an operating profit of ¥4.6 billion. For reference, the previous financial year had sales of ¥66.8 billion and an operating profit of ¥2.7 billion. While the net sales have dropped, the operating profit has increased by ¥1.9 billion year-over-year.
Some of the titles released in the previous financial year that contributed to these figures include SaGa Emerald Beyond, the Kingdom Hearts franchise, Visions of Mana, Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven, Life is Strange: Double Exposure, Fantasian: Neo Dimension, and Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake.
The last time we heard about Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake was back in December, when the company announced that it had sold more than 2 million copies since its November 2024 release. Square Enix will be hoping to recapture this success with its planned Dragon Quest 1 and 2 HD-2D Remake.
Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake is available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Check out our review for more details.
