Dragon Quest Builders 2 ((ドラゴンクエストビルダーズ２ 破壊神シドーとからっぽの島) Doragon Kuesuto Buridasu Tsu Hakai Kami Shido tokarappo no Fushigi Shima, lit. Dragon Quest Builders 2: Destruction God Shido and the Mysterious Isle) is the sequel to the 2016 sandbox game Dragon Quest Builders. It was announced at the summer 2017 Dragon Quest festival, along with a brief preview video and a few small details addressed by Yūji Horii.
Builders 2 was released for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Microsoft Windows in years 2018 and 2019. Among the Windows ports of the Dragon Quest series, Builders 2 is the fourth release, and the first to fully support Japanese.[1]
Setting
Unlike the first game, which takes place in an alternate timeline of the original Dragon Quest, this installment takes place following the events of Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line in which the remnants of the Children of Hargon are attempting to make a comeback after their leader's death by kidnapping and destroying builders. The player takes control of an abducted Builder who escapes the cult's ship in the midst of a torrential storm, and washes up on a desert island alongside a fellow abductee named Lulu and a mysterious boy named Malroth. It is up to the player and Malroth to survive on the island until rescue arrives.

- The player can warp anywhere on an island, provided he or she had already been there once.
- Multiplayer has been implemented to allow up to four players.

Trivia

- This is the final DQ game released in the Heisei era of Japanese history.
- In the English localization, the bo'sun of the tutorial ship the player explores in the beginning makes a reference to Lucasarts' The Secret of Monkey Island by stating that the Builder "fights like a cow's cadaver".
