Dragon Quest Builders 2 releases in North America July 12th

Square Enix announced today that Dragon Quest Builders 2 is headed to the United States on July 12, 2019 for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch consoles. Preorders for the PlayStation 4 version are now available on the Square Enix store.

Although a sequel to the previous Dragon Quest Builders game, Dragon Quest Builders 2 features an all-new original story with a new world and characters. The game promises unlimited building combinations and even more content and gameplay that players both old and new can enjoy.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 will introduce online multiplayer for the first time, allowing up to four friends to play together and build fantastic creations. The game will also come with a plethora of new gameplay enhancements, which will include:

    • Construct bigger structures with more variety and options than before.
    • Travel faster by soaring, swimming and dashing through the expansive world.
    • Inspire villagers to help out alongside them.
    • Create their own farms and raise a multitude of crops.
    • Divert flowing water to create your own rivers, waterfalls, and swimming holes.
    • First-person mode and more.

“The evil Children of Hargon are determined to eradicate all creators and have outlawed the building, cooking, and creation of all things. In an attempt to spread their destructive dogma, the calamitous cult captures the builders of the world. All hope seems to be lost until you, a young apprentice builder, manage to escape from the clutches of evil.”

“After washing up on the shores of the deserted Isle of Awakening, you encounter the spirited Malroth, a mysterious youth with no memory of his past. With the help of your fearless new friend, you embark on a grand adventure to gather the skills required to become a full-fledged builder, but the road you build is paved with peril. Only you can defeat the Children of Hargon, uncover the secrets of Malroth’s past, and unravel the riddles of this mysterious land.” (source)
