Nintendo has confirmed that they’ve signed on to publish Square Enix’s Dragon Quest Builders 2 for the Switch in 2019. The news was quietly delivered to fans as part of their most-recent quarterly financial report, which was released this morning.
Dragon Quest Builders combined the crafting mechanic popularized by Minecraft with the core gameplay of an Action RPG (and a plotline that echoed the original Dragon Quest). Launching for the PS4 and Vita in 2016, it eventually found its way to the Switch (and big sales success) earlier this year. The sequel will continue this kitchen sink approach, while taking its plot cues from Dragon Quest II.
Dragon Quest Builders 2 will be released by Square Enix in Japan this December. The game is also in development for the PS4, and it’ll presumably make its worldwide debut in 2019 as well, though it obviously won’t be published by Nintendo.
