Square Enix has announced that the western release for Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree’s Woe and the Blight Below is coming with all of its post-launch downloadable content, on-disc, at no extra cost.
The various post-launch episodes will be available to play once you’ve ran through the main story beyond their required conditions. Square Enix was keen to point out that most DLC will be playable once you’ve defeated King Hydra.
You can find a brief synopsis for some of the DLC here:
- Alena’s Episode – Completing Alena’s episode will get you her original Dragon Quest IV costume! I think she looks really cute with the tights! Alena’s episode brings her into a competition for the Colissea Cup. Completing the quest will get you alternate arranged costumes for both the tomboy Tsarevna and her loyal friend, Kiryl and rare accessories!
- Bjørn Battle – Meet Bjørn the Behemoose, one of the largest bosses in the series! He first appeared in Dragon Quest V as a terrible evil that Nera’s family sealed away. Since Bjørn is so huge, you’ll have to jump on his massive body and deal damage to him that way…
- Great Demon Lord Zoma Battle – The scary looking monster here is The Great Demon Lord Zoma, the final boss of Dragon Quest III! Zoma will freeze your party with a strong ice spell. Maybe it’d be a good idea to stock up on ice resistant equipment before taking on this challenge!
- Nokturnus Battle – Nokturnus, the hardest boss in Dragon Quest VI! Goooooood luck!
- Psaro Battle and Playable Character – saro the Manslayer himself! He’s the only character that can equip greatswords! Psaro’s form changes when he uses his coup de grâce! He will burn his surroundings with the heat ray that he shoots from his eyes!
- And more…
Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree’s Woe and the Blight Below is launching for the Playstation 4 on October 13th in North America and on October 16th in Europe.
