The Square Enix/Omega Force collaboration Dragon Quest Heroes 2 gets an official release date for the PC, including a new overview trailer that teases the game’s adventure.
Although the high-powered hack-and-slash game Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree’s Woe and the Blight Below actually received its official sequel back in May of 2016, only Japanese gamers were able to access it. Developed by Omega Force, the same brains behind the tactical action series Dynasty Warriors, and gaming industry giants Square Enix, Dragon Quest Heroes 2 was called for by fans across the world. When the title and its predecessor were announced in a game bundle for the upcoming Nintendo Switch, the excitement from players was understandable.
That hype was recharged today, once Square Enix confirmed that Dragon Quest Heroes 2 is set to hit PCs this spring. In a blog post on Square Enix’s official website, Dan Seto, the community manager at Square Enix’s Japan Studio, shared the news. Earlier on, Dragon Quest Heroes 2 was announced for the PlayStation 4 and would be launching in North America on April 25, 2017. Today, the title was confirmed for PC and got the very same release date. North American console and desktop players will both get to enjoy all the game has to offer three days before European gamers can; the game will hit their ports on April 28.
Despite the region restrictions, Square Enix also revealed the brand-new overview trailer for Dragon Quest Heroes 2 in order to bring everyone up to speed. Originally posted on the official PlayStation YouTube page, the video dives into the unique happenings of the game’s Seven Realms, offers up a little bit of background information for those less acquainted with the franchise’s history, and explains what makes the game so special.
According to the trailer’s synopsis, the field-roaming RPG “sends players on a new adventure to bring order in a once peaceful world filled with hordes of monsters and battles of epic proportions.” Dragon Quest Heroes 2 supports up to four multiplayer channels in order to encourage cooperative play to “conquer swarms of enemies and defeat challenging boss monsters” as any one of the various characters the game has available to play.
Dragon Quest 2 will be available for the Nintendo Switch in Japan on March 3. It will release in North America for PC and PS4 on April 25, in Europe for PC and PS4 on April 28, and worldwide on Steam on April 28.
