Square Enix announces Dragon Quest Builders for PS4, PS Vita

Just in time for Dragon Quest’s 30th anniversary, comes an announcement of a fun new game in the series: Dragon Quest Builders. Looking a bit like a Minecraft-styled Dragon Quest, the new “block-building RPG”  title is actually an open world story-based adventure and not just a sandbox.

Dragon Quest Builders is scheduled for an October North American release for the PS4 and PS Vita so far.

Check out the first screens and the announce trailer below.

Story
A long time ago, the realm of Alefgard was engulfed in an ongoing battle between the humans and the monsters. A celebrated hero stood up and confronted the Dragonlord, the wicked king of the monsters, to try to put an end to the conflict. Through his vile trickery, the Dragonlord deceived the hero into a false deal, and Alefgard was destroyed in the process. The few survivors were robbed of the power to build and scattered around the world to live out their lives in despair and apathy. The very idea of creativity and imagination became mere legend, and mankind was reduced to a meager existence, surviving only by scavenging what remained among the ruins for centuries to come.

Until one day, a new hero is awoken by the spirit of the land ? one who will become the Legendary Builder, within whose fingertips dwells the long-lost power of creation. Rebuild the ruined realm in your own image and bring an end to the Dragonlord?s reign of evil once and for all.

Finally, to continue the celebration of the 30th anniversary, DRAGON QUEST HEROES: The World Tree?s Woe and the Blight Below will be offered at a discounted pricing on STEAM and thePlayStation Store until May 31. PlayStation Plus members can also purchase the game with an additional discount during this time.

This title is not yet rated. Please visit the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) website at www.esrb.org for more information about ratings.
