News: Square Enix has revealed that Dragon Quest Builders is coming to North America this fall on Sony platforms.

To help celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Dragon Quest franchise Square Enix has revealed that Dragon Quest Builders is arriving in North America in October. In this new building adventure, players will use their creativity to gather and combine a variety of unique tools and materials in order to rebuild Alefgard, a realm destroyed by the menacing ruler of the monsters, the Dragonlord.

The title offers sandbox gameplay combined with an immersive story and allows players to interact with a host of iconic characters and monsters. You can let your imagination run wild to create an infinite variety of structures, in response to extravagant requests from citizens eager to find new homes. With an easy-to-learn and quick-to-master control system, Dragon Quest Builders will have builders of all skill levels creating masterpieces in no time.

For those who are curious about the story, the premise is below:

”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.”

Dragon Quest Builders will arrive in October on PS4 and on PS Vita. Additionally, Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree’s Woe and the Blight Below is currently on sale in the PlayStation Store as well as on Steam until May 31 so be sure to take advantage of that if you are interested in that title.
