Get ready to build for fun, adventure, and to save the world because Dragon Quest Builders is coming to PS4 and PS Vita on October 11! Today we’re announcing the Day 1 edition of the game and below you can see the all new (and wonderfully colorful) box art for Dragon Quest Builders, too!
In Dragon Quest Builders you gather materials, craft items, and build everything you can imagine in a sandbox world packed with memorable characters and dangerous monsters. This is all set in a unique Dragon Quest story, so let’s quickly go over that story to get you all up to speed.
Generations ago, the realm of Alefgard was plunged into darkness by the terrible and treacherous Dragonlord, ruler of all monsters. Mankind was robbed of the power to build and forced to wander the ruins of their former home, scrounging and scavenging in the dust to survive.
Now it’s up to you, a Legendary Builder chosen by the Goddess herself, to return the power of creation to the people and rebuild Alefgard. Only when the wonder of imagination has been returned will mankind be able to overthrow the evil Dragonlord once and for all!
Now that you’re all up to speed with the story, let’s talk about what you get in the Day 1 edition of Dragon Quest Builders.
The Day 1 edition comes with a voucher code to unlock three exclusive recipes for unique building materials which can be used in Terra Incognita (Free Build) Mode. The recipes are:
- Springtide Sprinkles Recipe — An item that allows you to transform trees into festive Cherry Blossoms and soil into comfortable straw floor blocks.
- Slimy Blocks Recipe — Allows you to craft delightful blocks adorned with cute blue Slimes! (The blocks aren’t actually slimy but they are super cute!)
- Gold Blocks Recipe — Allows you to show off your opulent side with blocks made of pure gold!
You’ll have access to these recipes as soon as you start up Terra Incognita Mode (which is accessible after you complete the first chapter of the main story) but you’ll still need to gather the raw materials to craft the items — but you can make as much as you want so long as you have enough raw materials. Then you can build all sorts of amazing creations!
Hope you’re looking forward to Dragon Quest Builders which is coming out on October 11 for PS4 and PS Vita. Don’t forget you can pre-order the Day 1 Edition to make sure you don’t miss out!
Since there’s no physical release on Vita (or preordering for digital Vita games in NA), do we get it automatically when we buy it on PSN?
Look’s awesome!
Is there a physical version coming out for the Vita and will it be cross save? Thanks! :D
There’s apparently an English Physical VITA version being released in Asia. Hoping it comes out here.
The game is download-only on Vita in the west. However, as Ryu mentioned, there will be an R3 English release which you can import and play with ease. Play-Asia and Heavy Arm should be stocking it. It’s reportedly due out alongside the western releases in October.
Thanks Ryu and Generic, I’ll have to import from Play-Asia. I like having physical carts. Anyone know if it will have cross save?
I don’t believe it’s cross-save.
This is great news. Then I will wait a little to see if Square Enix will release a physical version here (I would rather support the game’s US editions so we can get more of them), but if they do not, I will be importing this.
I already imported the Japanese version, and I would do it again to play the English version with a physical card.
Square Enix of the US, I want to give my money to you (especially for Dragon Quest). Please announce a physical Vita version soon.
