==Save Data sharing and Explorer's Edition DLC ==
===Game Naming / Marketing Differences===
Cross-platform play options and save data sharing are present. Having save data from the previous title grants [[Luceus]] and [[Aurora]] costumes for this game's protagonists. ''[[Dragon Quest Builders]]'' save data grants "Builders [[Giant mallet|Wooden Hammer]]" for the protagonists' use. Downloadable content so far includes costumes, weapons, and multiplayer options.
The Steam release does not include the ''Twin Kings and the Prophecy's End'' text anywhere on the page, instead being listed as ''Dragon Quest Heroes II Explorer's Edition'' This is similar to Dragon Quest Heroes, which was listed as "Slime Edition" and included some low-powered slime-based starter weapons that interact with Healix.  ''Dragon Quest Heroes II'' also claims to contain multiple DLC.


Items included in the Explorer's Edition are: Slime Knight's Shield, Great Sabreclaws, Robo-Bow, Slime Stack Stick, Imp Fork, Plat o' One Tails, Golem Gauntlets, Drackerang, Goodybag Abacus, Shadowblade, Gem Slime Sword, Night Club, Robo-Razor, Royal Flush and Archdemon Arcs.
==Nintendo Switch==
{{stub}}
A [[Nintendo Switch]] version was also announced and will be released combined with the first game as ''[[Dragon Quest Heroes I + II]]''. [[Ragnar]] has been added to the main cast of the second game and Malroth can be faced as a superboss, as well.
