Dragon’s Dogma 2 Player Tries to Create Pikachu, and It’s Absolutely Cursed

One Dragon's Dogma 2 fan has recently decided to make use of the game's character creator to put together a playable version of Pikachu, having consequently ended up with an absolutely cursed Arisen. Their horrific character has received quite a bit of attention on social media, adding to the pre-release buzz surrounding Dragon's Dogma 2.
Although Capcom's open-world RPG won't be out until March 22, the Japanese company has already released the Dragon's Dogma 2 character creator on both PC and consoles. The move allowed players to get an early start on designing their characters and companions—Arisen and Pawns, in the game's jargon—who can then be transferred to the full game. Plenty of people opted to do just that, as underlined by the ongoing influx of Dragon's Dogma 2 characters on social media, which features designs that range from elegant to horrifying.
One example of the latter has recently been authored by Reddit user The_Infernum, who made an attempt at designing a humanoid Pikachu. While the result of their efforts is certainly evocative of the Pokemon mascot, its likeness to Pikachu isn't so much authentic as it is nightmare fuel. Since none of the races in Dragon's Dogma 2 are inherently cute, the player opted to base their Pikachu recreation on the only animal race in the game, that of the Beastren people from the nation of Battahl.
Hundreds of fans voted to send the resulting creation to the front page of the largest Dragon's Dogma series community on Reddit, with dozens of others describing the character as everything from «cursed» to a Pikachu-themed Pennywise. Some fans weren't really horrified so much as impressed or flat-out amused with the design, asking the author to release the sliders used to make it so that they could mimic the creation themselves.
The idea of using Beastren people to recreate famous animal characters in Dragon's Dogma 2 did not start with this cursed Pikachu; another fan used the race as the template for an equally horrifying Garfield recreation, which they had shared in response to The_Infernum's Pikachu making the rounds online. Whether either player intends to actually transfer these characters to Dragon's Dogma 2 or has simply made them as a joke is unclear.
Regardless, Capcom's decision to release the RPG's character creator early has so far proven to be a clever way to create buzz around the game in the run-up to its global debut. While the upcoming title has already generated quite a bit of excitement among the fandom, clever marketing of this sort could still prove to be hugely beneficial for Capcom, not least because Dragon's Dogma 2 is releasing on the same day as two other AAA heavy-hitters in the form of Rise of the Ronin and Princess Peach: Showtime.

Dragon's Dogma 2 Is Polarizing Its Community, And It's Not Just the Microtransactions
Plenty of big, AAA releases have problems at launch. Overwatch 2, Payday 3, and Redfall all launched to criticism from both reviewers and fans. It's far rarer to see a AAA game's community genuinely divided over whether or not a game is fantastic and groundbreaking, or an utter disaster at launch. But weirdly, that's what's happening with Dragon's Dogma 2.

Super Mario Wonder Drops to 60 Coins, An 88 Buck Dragon's Dogma 2, $13 Far Cry 6, and More!
The figurative sandbox of freedom that is your weekend approaches, so it's time to fill your inventory with stuff to do. Personally, I'm leaning pretty heavily into buying that 87% off Far Cry 6 twice—the plan being to gift one to a mate and then take advantage of the stellar co-op campaign. Self-serving presents aside, I'm still all about Dragon's Dogma 2, even though I'm on the other side of the credits. Game of the month for me.
