Thank goodness Dragon Quest Heroes II has multiplayer

Here’s a look

It’s been known for a while that Dragon Quest Heroes II would have multiplayer capabilities, but actually seeing it in action is another thing. This new video from the team showcases the four player co-op element, as well as the adherence to gigantic boss encounters. It’s gearing up for a release pretty soon in Japan (May 27) so we’ll know a lot more sooner than later.

The first game was pretty good, especially for a first effort, but the lack of any multiplayer functionality definitely hurt it. The fact that the sequel has cross-play over the PS3, PS4, and Vita could do wonders for its longevity and community.
