Dragon Quest Builders 2 ドラゴンクエストビルダーズ アレフガルドを復活せよ 2) is an upcoming sequel to the 2016 sandbox game DQB. It was announced at the summer 2017 Dragon Quest festival, along with a brief preview video and a few small details addressed by Yuji Horii.
Setting
Much like how the first game takes place in an alternate reality of the original Dragon Quest, this installment takes place in an alternate timeline of Dragon Quest II, in which Hargon amasses a cult designed to discourage building and to ban worshiping of the Goddess under penalty of death. You play as a Builder rescued by a mysterious boy named Malroth from the ocean and find out you are on Empty Island, a place void of civilization. It is up to you and Malroth to bring the world back to its former glory by introducing the concept of Building back to the other islands and to defeat the Cult of Hargon.
