Square Enix has released a new set of Dragon Quest Builders details and screenshots, introducing the game’s Story Mode and Free Build Mode.

Get the information below.

■ Two Modes

Story Mode

In Story Mode, you’ll build your own towns in order to revive the world devastated by The Dragonlord as you aim to defeat him. You’ll enjoy a Dragon Quest series story where you’ll meet and help out various unique characters, as well as battle many formidable foes.

Free Build Mode

After you clear the first continent, an “Unknown Island” will appear, where you can freely build to your heart’s content in Free Build Mode. All the recipes acquire during Story Mode can be used freely here.

■ Free Build Mode

The Unknown Island is divided into three major areas. There’s the “Home Area” activities base, the “Area Where Materials and Monsters from Continents Cleared in Story Mode Appear,” and the “Battle Island Area” where you can battle monsters one after the other. Additionally, in the Home Area, you can share your buildings with other players across the country via PlayStation Network.

Home Area

In this area, in addition to being able to make things using any material, you can also upload or download buildings by connecting to PlayStation Network.

Cleared Continents Area

In this area, you can obtain the materials not obtainable in the Home Area. There are also monsters roaming this area, so you should also try to get the materials they’re holding.

Battle Island Area

In this area, you can use a special ticket to battle against an army of monsters. If you win, you could obtain blueprints and recipes.
