Going by a load of new information regarding Dragon Quest Heroes II, it's really starting to sound like this'll be a sequel that improves upon just about everything that the first game did right. The info comes direct from a recent Square Enix broadcast, kindly translated by Gematsu.
Alongside a rousing new trailer - which we've embedded at the bottom of this article - the publisher detailed several fresh features that are coming to the title. First off, you'll be able to explore more open environments this time around. Unsurprisingly, enemies will still inhabit the wilderness, but it seems as though you won't just be jumping from one battlefield to the next. Apparently, these areas will also boast a weather system.
Next on the agenda is co-op - a much requested feature after it was missing in the original Dragon Quest Heroes. You'll be able to band together with up to three other players in order to tackle story missions and test your skills in an exclusive multiplayer dungeon.
And finally, some characters from the first title will be making a comeback as free downloadable content. However, it looks as though these additional party members won't be available to play as in the story, so we imagine that they'll be confined to a specific mode. Yangus won't be happy.
How do you think all of this sounds? Are you up for more Dragon Quest Heroes or were you not so hot on the original? Prepare to whack some monsters in the comments section below.

lets hope we get this one as well, the first was a great game
co-op
Thank you, that's what I've been waiting to hear. So now I need $350 for the console and another $180 for 3 extra controllers .Guess VR will have to wait.
Well the trailer was lame, but is May 27 the Japanse release date? That's sooner than I thought, maybe the west gets it by Christmas?
Really looking forwards to this & co-op, hopefully it'll come to the west soon.
Coming out on Vita?? Awesome. Will certainly pick it up then. Cross buy and save would be most welcome too, Sony/SE!
Missed the first - defo picking this one up.
Trailer doesn't clarify if they improved the game speed though, specifically the running speed of the characters. The first one was by far the slowest Musou game I've ever played and it destroyed any chance of it being even halfway decent.
I am currently playing the first game. To me, its nothing great. But easy to pick up and play for 40 mins or so. I dont think i will getting the next one.
sounds great - the first one is a masterpiece on its own, Im really hyped that the developers put so much effort in making the sequel even more epic. Multiplayer sure is cool, the only thing I reeeeaaaaallllyyyy would want to be improved is the shopping system: please make selling/buying more accessible! The camera could use some refinement too but overall the first one was pretty much awesome from start to finish - Im so hyped ^^
