Dragon Quest Builders on Switch Western Launch Set for February 9, 2018

Nintendo has announced the release date for the Nintendo Switch version of Dragon Quest Builders.

The sandbox action-building game will launch on February 9th, 2018 in both North America and Europe.


Here’s a rundown on the game, via Nintendo:


This charming game offers a new experience in the classic Dragon Quest series, allowing players to reconstruct towns using gathered building materials, fight monsters in real-time battles and meet memorable characters throughout a sprawling RPG. And just like every game on Nintendo Switch, this constructive adventure can be played at home or on the go.

Dragon Quest Builders features a large world to explore, including hidden treasures to discover and epic structures to build. Players can use their creativity to fulfill characters’ requests and build incredible towns using not only fun materials, but also their imaginations. In Terra Incognita – the game’s free-build mode – players can even upload their creations online, or download buildings made by other players.

Playing Dragon Quest Builders on Nintendo Switch will offer players experiences and items exclusive to this version of the game. This includes the ability to gather rare crafting materials and battle enemies while riding the powerful (and adorable) Great Sabrecub, as well as additional crafting options for more robust building customization options.


Dragon Quest Builders has been available for PlayStation 4 and PS Vita. In case you missed it, you can find our review for the original Dragon Quest Builders here. The game’s sequel, Dragon Quest Builders 2, is coming to PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch – you can read more about it here.
