I absolutely loved playing Dragon Quest Builders, wiling away a tremendous amount of time simply building things (oh and playing the story). So, I cannot wait for Dragon Quest Builders 2 to arrive in the West at some point in 2019, after it was released in Japan last year.

Today, Square-Enix have announced the first set of Dragon Quest Builders 2 downloadable content, the “DLC Pack No. 1: Japanese-Style Pack”. This will launch on February 28 2019 for a meagre 700 yen in Japan, and will release alongside a new game update.

The DLC pack will contain:

– Decorative Furniture – Pine, Bamboo, Water wheel, Shishi-odoshi, Katana decoration, Big bell, Bag of rice, Onigiri set, Dumpling set, Geta, and Giant mallet.
– Walls, Flooring, and Stairs – Gravel flooring, Tatami, Elegant wall, Ply wood wall, Wooden room divider, and Rope ladder.
– Doors, Windows, and Roofing – Wood sliding door, Fusuma (sliding screen), Ranma (transom window), Tiled roof, Tiled roof decoration, Tiled roof: countertop, and Demon decorative ridge-end tile.
– Lighting – Paper lantern, and Stone lantern.
– Living Furniture – Futon, Tea table, Kotatsu, and Pawlownia-wood drawer chest.
– Wall-Mounted Furniture – Hanging scroll.
– Farming and Animal Keeping – Rice plants, and Soba.
– Consumable Items – Rice plant seeds, Soba seeds, Shake onigiri, Omurice, Dumplings, Sushi, Oyakodon, Zaru soba, High-grade zaru soba, Tempura soba, Sweet rice water, and Jipang sheet music.
– Intermediate Materials – Washi (Japanese paper).
– New Materials Island – Wabisabi Island.

The game update will contain:

– “Bulletin Board” information display change
– Prizes will be presented to the top users on the Bulletin Board Daily Ranking (1st Place: Gold Medal, 2nd Place: Silver Medal, 3rd Place: Bronze Medal, 4th through 8th Place: Commemorative Medal)
– Camera perspectives added to Photo Mode
– Facial expression change feature added to Photo Mode
– Water can now be displayed through glass
– Ability to upload Cultivation Island to the Bulletin Board added
– Doors can now be opened on switch
– Cabinets, drawer chests, and big closets can now store items other than armor and clothes
– Increased the amount of dyes obtainable from crops

That’s quite the exhaustive list, and I’m now really hoping that this DLC will be bundled in with the game when it finally reaches our shores. Mostly though, I just can’t wait for the game itself. What do you think though? Are you looking forward to Dragon Quest Builders 2? And what do you think of this DLC pack? Let us know in the comments, or on Twitter and Facebook.
