Dragon Quest free version trophies appear online for PS4

Just the other day, we shared an article taken from Famitsu where the development team behind Dragon Quest XI had created an in-engine prototype of Dragon Quest III to serve as a helpful visualization for the game. 

It seems Square Enix may have bigger plans than we previously thought.

Earlier today, PSN trophies for a free version of the original Dragon Quest has shown up online You can take a look at it below:

If this is real, it would mark the first time the first entry has ever appeared on a Sony platform. The series didn't make its official debut until Dragon Quest VII for the original PlayStation.

Time will tell whether we will see the other entries find their way to the PS4 as well, but this is exciting news nevertheless.

The latest entry in the series, Dragon Quest XI, was just recently released in Japan for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo 3DS, with a Nintendo Switch release planned for a later date. It will also be released in the west and is due out in 2018, with only PlayStation 4 being confirmed as a platform as of today.

Update: We have learned Dragon Quest (Free Version) is accessible by inputting a password you receive sometime during the game after reaching the true ending in Dragon Quest XI. This is available for both the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo 3DS.
