<p>Announced via Twitter this morning, <em>Dragon Quest Heroes II </em>looks to be making its way to Europe and North America for PS4 in April, 2017. The sequel to 2015&#8217;s <em>Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree&#8217;s Woe and the Blight Below</em> will hit North American shores on April 25th, while the European release will be on April 28th. Unlike the previous game, there has not been an announcement of a Vita release, despite the Japanese version being available on PS4, PS3 and Vita.</p>

<p>We covered the game back in February <a href="https://bagogames.com/dragon-quest-heroes-ii-first-screenshots-and-details-released/">when it was announced</a> for Japan with the subtitle &#8220;The Twin Kings and the Prophecy&#8217;s End&#8221;. No word on whether it will have that same subtitle when it is released outside of Asian territories. Based on the marketing at this point, it&#8217;s probably a safe bet that it will not.</p>
<p>The game will feature an all new story with all new characters, which you can gets hints at in the trailer above. Players will have a unique cast of characters to choose from, as well as two new characters &#8211; Lazarel and Teresa. The world is descending into chaos and it is up to you to help salvage peace among the Seven Realms.</p>
<p>The original game seemed to do fairly well, so it makes a lot of sense for the sequel to make its way here. I&#8217;m sure there will be Vita fans that are bummed by the lack of a Vita announcement, but I&#8217;ll take any version over no version, I guess.</p>
