Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a block-building RPG from Square Enix that is set in the same universe as the main Dragon Quest JRPG series. It combines the gameplay elements of building, exploration, battling, and completing quests. Story-wise, the game begins with the player washing up on the shores of the deserted Isle of Awakening, befriending a mysterious youth with no memory of his past, and embarking on a journey to defeat the Children of Hargon who worship destruction.

Compared to its 2016 predecessor Dragon Quest Builders, multiplayer is a major addition to the game. Up to four players can play cooperatively via internet or Switch local wireless. It is possible to change the characters’ gender and customize their appearance, visit the other players’ Vacant Islands and invite them to your own, and ride vehicles together.

Players will also get access to an additional island to gather material that they’ll need to build these recipes.
  • Aquarium Pack: check the mailbox on the Isle of Awakening to discover a fishing island with a net full of quests and characters to meet. Learn how to catch 40 different fish that can be added to a DIY aquarium. Unlock the fishing rod as well as customization options, including swimwear, straw hats and a ponytail hairstyle.

The packs will be available for purchase separately or together as a part of the Season Pass at a slight discount.
