Dragon Quest Heroes 2 Gets Western Release Date

Go West! Life is hack 'n' slashy there.

Dragon Quest Heroes 2 is coming to the West on April 28, 2017 for PlayStation 4.

The second iteration returns with the same over-the-top combat mayhem, only this time with four-player co-op; an addition fans of the first game have been clamouring for. You can check out the Western announcement trailer for yourself, below.

The first Dragon Quest Heroes launched in October of 2015. In our review we compared the game with Hyrule Warriors and Shadow of Mordor, saying: “Dragon Quest Heroes occupies a similar place as games like Hyrule Warriors and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. The combat that makes up the majority of gameplay is fun but forgettable, and there's little else to keep you engaged unless you're sufficiently attached to the license.”

If Heroes isn’t your thing, there’s also the loveable cute-‘em-up Dragon Quest Builders, which is like Minecraft only with lush visuals and is “totally, thoroughly engaging.”
