Here's your first look at Dragon Quest Builders 2 and its ridiculous subtitle

Square Enix has finally offered up some details of its upcoming Switch game, Dragon Quest Builders 2, complete with the ridiculously long subtitle The God of Destruction Malroth and the Vacant Island.

According to info dug up by Gematsu, the story begins when the main character, the Builder, washes ashore on the Vacant Island and must evoke Robinson Crusoe in order to build up a base and defeat roaming monsters.

Gameplay will be similar to the original Dragon Quest Builders, with you destroying the world and the creatures in it to earn resources for crafting weapons, tools, buildings, and improving the Builder's skills.

There are no hints yet about how the destruction god Malroth comes into play, but given his name, it seems likely that he'll be bent on knocking down whatever blocks the Builder stacks up.

The game will also be multiplayer for up to four people, so you can work with your friends to save the world – or just see who can build a better base.

We loved the original Dragon Quest Builders, calling it "a brilliant, feature-packed game that any self-respecting Switch player should be picking up right about now" and giving it our Gold Award.

I haven't had much time with the original Dragon Quest Builder, but the screenshots for the new game look lovely, and the RPG aspect of the game is enticing. Plus, you can't go wrong with a bit of four-player co-op, although it doesn't look like you'll be able to share a screen, which is a little disappointing.

There's no word on a release date just yet, but we'll let you know when we have more information.
