Dragon Quest Builders 2 is coming out this year and fans can head on over to the Nintendo eShop to pre-purchase it right now. The game won’t launch until July 12, but that doesn’t mean fans aren’t raring to reserve a copy to get some in-game bonuses on launch that are described to me as “special.”
“To stop the worshippers of an ancient evil, you must join forces with the mysterious Malroth and build a ravaged world into the realm of your dreams. In this RPG adventure, you’ll explore huge islands, gather and craft with materials, design towns, level them up, and defend them from monsters and bosses alongside townspeople. As you progress, you’ll unearth crafting and building recipes. Dash, glide, explore underwater, fast travel, and play in optional first-person perspective as you try to find them all. In the Isle of Awakening, you and up to three other Builders can explore together in local wireless*; or play online** together too.”
Dragon Quest Builders 2 will have some DLC available as well and I’m sure many of you are already groaning at that. Well, one DLC pack will be free when it launches on July 26. The other three packs will cost $9.99 or $5.99 depending on the pack, or you can get all three as a season pass for a mere $20.99, and will be available on July 26, August 2, and August 9.
