Square Enix’s Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is scheduled to join the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog in November 2026, and Koei Tecmo’s Dynasty Warriors: Origins is scheduled to follow in December, Sony said in a PlayStation Blog Japan post on November 9, Japan time. This comes from Sony’s Japanese announcement only: the company has not confirmed the schedule for any other region.

The Details

The news sits inside Sony’s post about a new Japan-only PlayStation Portal model, in one line about what is coming to the catalog. Here is what it gives:

  • Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake: November, which the post calls “this month.” It names no exact day.
  • Dynasty Warriors: Origins: December, also with no exact day.
  • Tiers: a “coming soon” graphic in the post shows both games under Premium and Extra badges, the two PS Plus plans that include the catalog.
  • Regions: a footnote says the games offered differ by time and by country or region.

Neither game appears on Sony’s What’s New on PS Plus pages for Japan or the US yet, and those pages still list October’s catalog additions. The English PlayStation Blog has not posted a November catalog lineup at the time of writing.

What This Means for Players

If you are in Japan on PS Plus Extra or Premium and have been thinking about buying either game, it is worth waiting, since Sony has now said both are on the way.

Everywhere else, treat this as Japan’s schedule and nothing more. The catalog varies by region, so these months may not apply to you until Sony says so. Our PS Plus November guide tracks where the month stands, including the pattern behind Sony’s catalog posts: each of the last six landed on a Wednesday between the 9th and the 15th. Our report on October’s catalog additions shows what the last round looked like.

If Dynasty Warriors: Origins is the one you are waiting for, its hero also turns up in Dynasty Warriors 3 Remastered, and our guide covers how to unlock Ziluan. The rest is on our Dynasty Warriors hub. For another Dragon Quest remake from Square Enix, see where Dragon Quest VII Reimagined landed on our best RPGs of 2026.
