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.
“Speaking to the seamlessness of the world, there are no loading screens when you’re exploring. Of course, if there’s a cutscene, we might load it in and then load you back to free exploration, but in terms of actually going into dungeons or caves and exploring different parts of the world, you’ll never see a loading screen.
“The roads in the game are somewhat there to give players an idea of where they might need to go. But they are suggestions. In terms of the game mechanics, they don’t mean anything other than the fact that we know people tend to follow roads when they’re given them, so that helps us design the game without players getting lost too much. Also, the AI of pawns and other characters know where the roads are and will treat them as a guideline of where they might want to go.”
So if you want to explore and ignore the main quest while seeing what the world has to offer, go right ahead. “You’re pretty free to make your way through the world. You can stick to the path if you want to. If you want to go off-piste and find your way forward, you’re free to do that as well. You, however, can’t climb up flat rock, but you can clamber up areas that are about your own character’s height,” says Itsuno.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 doesn’t have a release window, but it is in development for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC. The world consists of two parts – Vermind, ruled by the Arisen who slayed the Dragon, and Battahl, ruled by the Beastmen and built on ancient ruins. Players have four Vocations to choose from, with other Advanced Vocations opening up as they progress. Check out the latest gameplay showcase and a boss fight against a Griffin.

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.

The Expendables movies were always a list of names before they were anything else. Stallone. Statham. Li. Snipes. Schwarzenegger. Willis. The pileup of those names is why anyone goes to see these movies. 2010’s The Expendables, and all its sequels, were aggressively marketed as assemblages of once-great titans of action cinema, a movie where fans of the VHS era could finally see their heroes sharing a screen together. It didn’t particularly matter what kind of movie they appeared in together, as long as it promised some action.
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.
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.
