Following an early Dragon's Dogma 2 stream, further gameplay details and spoilers have been leaking since.
Last week, we reported on a streamer playing four hours of Dragon's Dogma 2, well ahead of the sequel's release date this Friday, March 22, shortly before they were hit with a copyright strike. Now, a slew of further gameplay details have made their way online, potentially spoiling some big additions for long-time fans of Capcom's original dark RPG.
For example, there are details of how the Pawns interact with the player character, how certain Vocations perfect, including unique abilities for classes, and details on combat. Someone's even put together a list of every brand-new addition to Dragon's Dogma 2 that they've gleaned from all the pre-launch leaks.
We won't spoil any of the actual leaked details here, though, because many people have been desperately awaiting Dragon's Dogma 2 for just about 12 years now. That being said, many leaked details are currently making their way around the game's official subreddit and YouTube, so be careful where you're perusing over the next few days. Those spoilers also include Dragon's Dogma 2 trophy and achievement data, which don't offer hard reveals but are probably still best avoided if you want to enter the RPG without knowing anything.
If you need evidence of just how eagerly some people have been anticipating the new game, look no further than the player who spent 27 hours in Dragon's Dogma 2's character creator. Sure, there are a lot of options for character customization in the demo, but how anyone has managed to spend double-digit hours creating their Arisen and Pawn is beyond me.
That's certainly one way to get the jump on Dragon's Dogma 2 before it launches later this week, but you should also know that the Xbox pre-load for Capcom's sequel is now available. Shockingly, the pre-load is mercifully small compared to what we're used to these days - Dragon's Dogma 2 will take up just under 70GB on your Xbox Series X/S consoles.
Read up on our complete Dragon's Dogma 2 preview for what we made of the game when we played it for ourselves, as well as comments from director Hideaki Itsuno.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 sales have surpassed 2.5 million units, ten days after its March 22 release date, Capcom has said.
Capcom has released an update for Dragon’s Dogma 2 on PS5 and PC, adding a frame rate cap option on consoles, improving DLSS quality, and more.
In the run-up to the release of open world RPG Dragon’s Dogma 2, developer and publisher Capcom has revealed that it is aware of inconsistencies in the game’s frame rate performance on PC in particular. In a statement to IGN, Capcom has revealed that it is looking into ways in which it can improve the performance of the game.
Capcom's highly anticipated fantasy RPG, is finally due to be released on March 22, 2024, more than a decade after the release of the original game, but PC players may want to hold off on purchasing the game for now. Recent reports indicate that the game experiences severe frame rate performance problems on the platform.
It's taken 12 years, but Dragon's Dogma 2 is finally swooping onto store shelves this week, and judging by the early review scores, the wait has been worth it.
is already known to feature a map much bigger than the original game but not even the developers can agree on how much the space has grown. While the first boasted an expansive open world for players to explore at their will, it was also criticized for feeling empty and barren given the vast amount of space players needed to traverse to reach major locations. Capcom has confirmed that the sequel is looking to fix this issue by not only expanding the map but also including more interesting landmarks to discover.
We know that Dragon’s Dogma 2 has a much larger world than initially claimed, “more interesting and engaging Vocations” over the first game and up to three simultaneous bosses on-screen. With all the details about Pawn Specializations, the Dragonsplague and Vocation Maisters, one has to ask: What about Affinity?
A whopping 12 years following the release of Dragon’s Dogma for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is on the horizon, set to hit PC and modern consoles in only a few short weeks. Despite fans of the first game begging for multiplayer elements in Capcom’s newest title, director Hideaki Itsuno has shot down this dream in a new interview with Automation Media.
Dragon's Dogma 2's pre-load is seemingly available on Xbox Series X/S, and it's surprisingly under 70GB.
Capcom and director Hideaki Itsuno’s vision for the original Dragon’s Dogma was to develop a purely single player experience that, through the use of its AI-controlled companions known as Pawns, would emulate the feeling of an MMORPG with other players. The upcoming, long overdue Dragon’s Dogma 2 is set to expand on its predecessor in a number of ways – from a larger open world to how much content it’ll offer and much more – but that focus on delivering a purely single player experience isn’t changing.
If it weren’t obvious already, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a big game. Capcom has discussed how the world is four times larger than the original and the sheer amount of side content, which some may players may end up skipping. However, when speaking to Automaton-Media, director Hideaki Itsuno revealed that it may actually be much larger than initially announced.
From newcomers like the Mystic Spearhand and the Trickster to returning favourites like the Fighter and the Warrior, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is set to offer a number of different Vocations for players to play as, each offering a completely different play style. Unlike the first game, however, in the sequel, each Vocation is going to be much more limited in what it’ll be able to do, in that each of them will generally specialize in a single weapon type.
