"Dragon Quest Heroes II: Twin Kings and the Prophecy's End") is a hack-and-slash game developed by Omega Force and published by Square Enix for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita.

The game is a sequel to Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below. it will also celebrate the 30th anniversery
Dragon Quest Heroes II mixes the hack-and-slash combat of Koei Tecmo's Dynasty Warriors series of video games with the characters, monsters, universe, and lore from Square Enix's Dragon Quest series. The game is more heavy on the RPG elements than most of Omega Force's other titles. World exploration was changed to resemble the typical Dragon Quest experience. Players can move their party to visit towns, wander the world map and initiate battle stages (similar to dungeons). Seamless random monster encounters may break up the pace between locations. Special ingredients and treasure boxes can be discovered across the world map. Weather can fluctuate and affect the party's status. Rainy days inflicts a curse ailment on the party during battle.
Characters are able to dash to wherever they please, but certain areas are blocked until the player proceeds with the main story. As the players proceed with the main story, they can unlock "Invitation Stones" on the world map. These monuments allow the party to instantly warp to previously visited locations.
