News: A new story trailer has been released to whet your appetite for the upcoming release of Dragon Quest Heroes on the PS4.

Square Enix has released a new trailer for Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree’s Woe and the Blight Below which will be arriving on PlayStation 4 this fall. This new trailer gives players a deeper look at the game's colorful cast and lively world. Fans can view captains of the Royal Guard, Luceus and Aurora join forces with franchise favorites including Dragon Quest ® IV's tomboy Alena and Dragon Quest VIII's reformed bandit Yangus as they plow through hordes of formidable monsters.

Fans will recognize familiar faces from the Dragon Quest series as they utilize each character's unique abilities and vastly different play styles in battle. From Kiryl's lance that keep enemies at bay or Nera’s magic bubbles that blast monsters away, players can choose from twelve iconic Dragon Quest heroes. The roster will also feature newcomers including heavy hitter Doric, the King of Arba, and the brilliant Isla, Arba's cunning scientist.

Attendees of this year’s PAX Prime can try to defeat the all-mighty monster, Gigantes, at the Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below demo stations located at the Square Enix booth (#3646). While there, fans can get a free slime fan (while supplies last) and visit the “Slime Wall,” to squash and defeat the horde of slimes.

Take a look at the trailer below and tell us what you think. Will you be picking up Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree’s Woe and the Blight Below when it is released on October 13, 2015?
