Anticipated Capcom RPG Sequel Dragon's Dogma 2 Will Be Playable at Tokyo Game Show | Push Square

Director Hideaki Itsuno mentions Rockstar's title as one source of inspiration for the action-RPG sequel.

Tokyo Game Show 2023 was a veritable treasure trove of information and footage on Dragon's Dogma 2, the long-awaited action RPG sequel in development at CAPCOM.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a game that fans of its predecessor have been waiting for for a long time, and now that the open world action RPG is finally beginning to take tangible shape, excitement surrounding it is continuing to grow. Capcom recently brought the title to Tokyo Game Show, showing off substantial amounts of gameplay that’s looked quite promising, and something that’s caught the eye of many is how closesly the sequel seems to be sticking to the original game.

Dragon’s Dogma 2, the highly-anticipated sequel, just got a lot of new footage (some of it captured in 4K) from Tokyo Game Show 2023, where the game was playable for the first time.

Capcom has shared more information on Dragon’s Dogma 2 at the Tokyo Game Show, with attendees and publications going hands-on with the demo. The environments have looked fairly big so far, which makes sense, given the world is four times larger than the first game. Speaking to VGC, director Hideaki Itsuno also confirmed that exploration is seamless with no loading screens.

January 2024 will be literally loaded with games that gamers will have to pick and choose from to see what they play first or how many they’ll be able to afford. For the fighting game crowd, Bandai Namco is releasing Tekken 8 on January 26th, and they promise a visually stunning entry fueled by Unreal Engine 5 while also diving even deeper into the game’s story mode. At the Tokyo Game Show, producers Katsuhiro Harada and Michael Murray did a special stream of the title so they could drop details for fans. Many of these were about the story mode, but we also got some key gameplay details.

Xbox announced a slew of new titles coming to its Game Pass subscription service this year. At its Tokyo Game Show segment, held Thursday, the publisher confirmed that Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name will be available to members for free on day one i.e., November 9. In it, Kazama Kiryu, the famous Yakuza who faked his death to protect his family, slips into the black suit once again and works as a bodyguard codenamed ‘Joryu.' His cover is soon threatened when a mysterious figure with ties to the past comes to haunt him, spawning a crazed frenzy across the streets of Japan, as we punch our way through hordes.

The sequel to cult action RPG hit Dragon's Dogma has a new, nine-minute gameplay deep dive out of Tokyo Game Show 2023. The look at Dragon's Dogma 2 with game director Hideaki Itsuno goes over some key gameplay concepts, outlines the four starting classes, and shows off combat and exploration, which is apparently four times the size of the first game.

Video games can be pricey. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that. But the latest generation of console platforms also brought a new standard for AAA releases. Instead of paying the once-standard fee of $59.99 on a new game, we’re digging deeper into our wallets to meet that $69.99 price tag. As a result, knowing what video games to pick up at launch and which to hold off is crucial for our bank accounts. So, if you’ve been saving back on the funds, then check out a new sale promo being offered at the official PlayStation Store.

New Dragon's Dogma 2 footage was shared online today, providing a new look at some of the mechanics that power the highly anticipated new entry in the series by CAPCOM.

Capcom began its Online Program at Tokyo Game Show 2023 with new gameplay and details for Dragon’s Dogma 2. Director Hideaki Itsuno talked about the four starting Vocations and various features players could expect from the action RPG. There are two regions to explore: Vermind, ruled by Arisen, who slayed the Dragon, and Battahl, a city built on ancient ruins and ruled by Beastmen.

We are nearing the end of this year, and still, there are some events to mark down on your calendar. While summer typically brings in a wide variety of showcases with updates and announcements, this month, there is the Tokyo Game Show. Now, the presentations are typically quite a bit earlier for the States due to the time difference. But those that are around might find some showcases worth sitting in on. For instance, Capcom is having a presentation that will be streamed to the public on September 21, 2023. Here are the latest details released so far regarding the stream.
