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) is the 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
Unlike the first game, which takes place in an alternate reality of the original Dragon Quest, this installment takes place following the events of Dragon Quest II, in which the remnants of Hargon's cult are attempting to make a comeback by kidnapping and destroying builders. You play as a builder who washes up on a desert island where you meet a mysterious boy named Malroth. It is up to you and Malroth to survive on the island until rescue arrives.
