PS4 owners will be able to download a Dragon Quest Builders 2 demo from June 27th, Square Enix announced during its E3 conference. This demo will look to introduce players to the world of the game including new characters as well as the story. The game itself was announced back in 2017 for PS4 and Switch though at the time details were thin on the ground. That’s been slightly rectified as we now know that the story pits the player and their allies against the Children of Hargon over a war to reclaim the power of creation and bring it back to the world. Speaking of the world a new trailer titled ‘The World of Dragon Quest Builders 2’ accompanied the demo news.
