In the stream, fans received a sneak peek at the Dragon Quest Builders Nintendo Switch gameplay revealing mechanics and more. Players can build homes and towns where villagers can take up residence. The villagers also offer quests, and will help defend the town from the creatures that lurk in the night.

The game originally released on October 11th of last year for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. The upcoming Switch version of Dragon Quest Builders looks similar in quality to the PlayStation version, possessing the same RPG elements players would expect from the main series of games.

Fans of Dragon Quest will find familiar enemies and music to set the tone for the chapter based RPG builder. Players emerge in Alefgard, tasked with reviving the kingdom, stricken with having forgotten how to build or make things. As the character, players must discover the wider world around them as they create a safe place for the inhabitants to live in.

Dragon Quest Builders for the Nintendo Switch is set to arrive in Spring 2018. A sequel – Dragon Quest Builders 2 – has also been announced that will be available on the Nintendo Switch and PS4, though the release date is currently unknown.
