Dragon Quest Builders 2
Square-Enix recently opened the Japanese website for Dragon Quest Builders 2, showing off the designs for the male and female protagonist choices, the villain, and some new screenshots.
Much like the first game, Dragon Quest Builders 2 is Minecraft meets Dragon Quest, with the game putting you on a campaign to build and defend worlds from Dragon Quest monsters. The first game had players rebuilding the kingdom from the first Dragon Quest game, Alefgard. This time around, players wash ashore on a deserted island devoid of any life and, as a descendant of an ancient builder, try to build something there.
Malroth, the scaly boss of Dragon Quest II, plays an important role in the story and even gets attention in the game's Japanese subtitle. The sequel also boasts a few improvements over its predecessor, like online multiplayer for up to four players, swimming, and more.
Check out some screenshots below.
Dragon Quest Builders 2 launches in Japan this year on PlayStation 4 and Switch. There has been no word on a western localization yet.
