Released earlier this year in Japan to strong sales, it looks like Dragon Quest Heroes 2 is coming West in 2017.
According to a listing on Best Buy, Dragon Quest Heroes 2 is releasing on April 25, 2017 for PlayStation 4 in North America. If it’s anything like Dragon Quest Builders, the PlayStation Vita version will be released digitally, while the PlayStation 3 version won’t come West.
Since this is a retailer listing, we’ll have to wait until Square Enix announces Dragon Quest Heroes 2 for official details. Considering that the PlayStation Showcase at PlayStation Experience is happening on Saturday, it could be a short wait.
Here’s the description for Dragon Quest Heroes 2:
