Dragon Quest Builders is finally coming to PC via Steam, eight years after it launched on PlayStation and Xbox.
A Steam page for the long thought forgotten game appeared alongside an imminent release date of February 13, 2024, meaning PC players can explore its Minecraft meets Dragon Quest style role playing game mechanics very soon.
“The beloved block-building RPG, Dragon Quest Builders, is bringing its handy crafting features to Steam,” its description reads. “Weave your own tale as you build your own unique buildings and towns to restore Alefgard to it’s former glory.”
Developer Square Enix neglected to release a PC version of the game when it launched on January 28, 2016, but did release its sequel, the aptly titled Dragon Quest Builders 2 on the platform.
The franchise therefore hasn’t passed over PC completely, but the addition of the original game to Steam will satisfy players eager to see where it all began.
“Dragon Quest Builders is totally, thoroughly engaging,” IGN said in our 8/10 review. “Its gameplay is accessible to kids while its dialogue offers enough sly references to keep Dad or Mom amused. Collecting, crafting, and building all sounds familiar, but this package encapsulates so much of the best parts of this creative process and wraps it in light roleplaying progression and storytelling.”
