In today's Nintendo Direct it was announced that both 3DS remakes of DQVII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past (originally known as Warriors of Eden) and Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King will finally leave their homeland of Japan and be available in the West next year.

Both games come with new content and features. DQVIII will feature new equipment and story content fleshing out the game's story. DQVII on the other hand is a full on remake, utilizing full 3D graphics in the style of DQIX and altered content and new items.
