Some much-needed quality-of-life updates are coming to Dragon's Dogma 2, including the simple ability to just start a new game.
The official Dragon's Dogma X account (formerly known as Twitter) posted a graphic featuring information about updates coming to the game «in the near future.» Most are intended for all platforms Dragon's Dogma 2 is available on, but some are targeted specifically at either console or PC versions of the game.
The most welcome of these sits right at the top of the graphic and says that an «option to start a new game when save data already exists» is coming soon. As Dragon's Dogma 2 currently only has a single save file available, players are unable to erase progress in-game or make a new playthrough.
More performance options are coming to the console versions of Dragon's Dogma 2 as well. These include the ability to toggle ray tracing and motion blur for improved performance, as well as an option to lock the framerate to 30fps for what's likely to be a more stable experience. As of right now, the game's framerate is unlocked, which can make for rather inconsistent performance overall.
Other welcome changes include the ability to purchase more 'Art of Metamorphosis' (the book required to change your Arisen's or Main Pawn's appearance) from the relevant vendor, and making a quest that lets you buy a house available earlier than it currently is.
To all Dragon's Dogma 2 players!We're planning to release patches including the following updates and fixes in the near future, and will release them as soon as they are ready for distribution on each platform.Thank you for your patience and support! pic.twitter.com/aQoV3URH4CMarch 25, 2024
It's fair to say that many of these quality-of-life updates probably should've been in the game from day one. Aside from bug fixes that we'd expect the developer to be reactive to post-launch, what's listed here is all stuff that seems like an oversight.
Maybe there could've been some complications with letting players erase their progress — as the game is constantly auto-saving and has to account for the status of hundreds of NPCs — but performance options on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S absolutely should have made it to launch given the game's inconsistent framerate.

We've no idea when these updates will land in Dragon's Dogma 2 just yet, nor do we know if they'll all arrive at once. At the very least, we can expect them sometime soon and it's good to know Capcom is addressing some of the game's most pressing complaints.

During the inaugural Triple-i Initiative showcase, with titles like The Rogue Prince of Persia and Slay the Spire 2 announced, Pocketpair revealed the first teaser for Palworld’s Arena update. It will add PvP to the title, allowing players to fight each other with teams of three Pals. However, the team’s version of the teaser indicated that it would launch in Summer 2024, which was a mistake.
Helldivers 2 is getting a new premium warbond next week, offering some explosive new options to take into battle, aim at an enemy bug or robot, and then accidentally kill your entire squad by mistake. Or maybe that’ll just be me.
Developer Nightdive Studios has revealed that it will be releasing a massive patch for its remake of System Shock that will, among many other things, also bring a playable female Hacker.

While 's player base has shrunk considerably since the game's launch in early 2024, the game's first major update may be enough to bring Trainers back with a plethora of new features and additions. Following 's runaway success, developer Pocket Pair made sure to promise the community that it intends to support and grow the experience throughout its early access period. While there was already plenty to do and see across the Palpagos Islands, Update v0.2.0.6 includes some excellent quality-of-life features to make the process of capturing and training Pals significantly easier.
The latest update for Helldivers 2 is here, and it ought to shake up the game in a fairly significant way. The big news is that the level cap is increasing from 50 all the way to 150. Meanwhile, Arrowhead Studios have also added a couple of new planetary hazards (blizzards and sandstorms), rebalanced a long list of weapons, tweaked the specifics of how certain missions work, and more.
Terraria is apparently entering the “final stretch” of updates for the 2D crafting and exploration game (though whether this will actually be it remains to be seen), and it looks like developers Re-Logic are seeing off their 2D Minecraft-a-like in style. Emphasis on the ssssstyle.
The first big update for Dragon's Dogma 2 has landed, with Capcom having promised a slew of improvements earlier in the week. Patch 1.050 is available to download now on PS5, weighing in at 515MB.
A few days ago, Kotaku published a report suggesting Grand Theft Auto 6 may be delayed to late 2025 or even 2026. We didn't report on it because it seemed ephemeral rather than substantial, which Bloomberg's Jason Schreier (formerly of Kotaku himself) has now confirmed.
Today is the day that Diablo IV gets its ray tracing update, which was developed in collaboration with NVIDIA. Blizzard has released a detailed explanation of each improved effect, starting with shadows.
