Dragon Quest Builders Hammers Home a Confirmed Released Date on PS4

Another exclusive for Sony's console

by Robert Ramsey Wed 20th Jul 2016

Colourful and cheery craft-'em-up Dragon Quest Builders was confirmed for a Western release not too long ago on PlayStation 4, and now Square Enix has wheeled out some more specific launch dates.

The spin-off will arrive on Sony's home console from the 11th October in North America, and the 14th October in Europe. If you pre-order, you'll get access to a few exclusive building materials for use in the game's 'free build' mode. Hey, at least it doesn't have a tacky collector's edition, eh?

Are you looking forward to banging blocks later this year? Take a swing in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

Out of all of Square Enix's portfolio coming soon aside from Deus Ex I'm learning towards Nier at the moment, never played the original but Automata look really interesting.

I'm stoked for this. I like DQ and Minecraft so it's a win win.

Yeah a demo would be nice, I hear its a minecraft clone but I barely know what minecraft is even supposed to be like. Is it really just building around blocky structures and nothing else?

Before I played 7 days to die I could never see the fun of creating or reshaping the world into the image of what you want it to be. But had so much fun in 7 days to die now I want to try minecraft and also this new Dragon Quest game.
