A Dragon's Dogma 2 fan has used the game's pre-release character creator to make legendary game designer Hideo Kojima. Although Dragon's Dogma 2 doesn't officially release until March 22, Capcom has already released its character creator for free, with some amazing results so far.

Hideo Kojima is one of the most iconic figures in gaming history, having spent the majority of his career serving as the director of the Metal Gear Solid series. In recent years, he also created Kojima Productions, the game studio that developed Death Stranding and its upcoming sequel. The list of games worked on by Hideo Kojima includes some of the most critically acclaimed titles of the last few decades, and it's no surprise that gamers are using other titles to pay tribute to him in new and interesting ways.

The Hideo Kojima lookalike in Dragon's Dogma 2 was created by Twitter user Kubaushi, using the dynamic character creator to bring the game designer to life. All of Kojima's features have been recreated to be eerily accurate, and even at a glance, there's no doubt about who it's trying to replicate. With the Dragon's Dogma 2 character creator lacking glasses, the player has a hilarious solution, instead using face paint for the rims and an in-game across the nose to depict the bridge.

Capcom releasing the Dragon's Dogma 2 character creator early seems to be paying dividends at the moment. Plenty of online creations are going viral, due to how powerful the tools are, which in turn is making more players interested in what they're capable of. Just recently, one Dragon's Dogma 2 player recreated Lae'zel from Baldur's Gate 3, showcasing how players are bringing their favorite characters to life from other franchises. These characters can also be imported into the release version of Dragon's Dogma 2, meaning that all of these creations are ready for a full playthrough of the game.

The full release of Dragon's Dogma 2 is fast approaching, and a wait spanning over a decade for a sequel is almost at an end. While interesting character creations keep flooding in, that isn't the only reason players want to return to this world. More details about the game itself are becoming available as the release draws closer, including the recent news that Dragon's Dogma 2 will have time-limited quests. This implies that Dragon's Dogma 2 will feature strong consequences, tying in well with the recent news that NPC death in the game is permanent. Everything about the game suggests that it has the potential to be a breakout hit when it releases later this month.

The long-awaited sequel to 2012's action RPG, Capcom's Dragon's Dogma 2 follows the Arisen, a hero whose heart is stolen by a powerful and massive dragon. Featuring a world 4x the size of
