Dragon’s Dogma 2 Releases Character Creator and Storage Ahead of the Game’s Release

The Dragon's Dogma 2 community has been left shaken by the existence of Dragonsplague – a deadly illness introduced in the sequel that can result in entire towns being killed. Left unchecked, the contagious disease –  which can be spread game-to-game by hiring infected Pawns – has the potential to result in numerous NPCs, including important quest-givers, being wiped out overnight. 

has just been released, and along with it comes a large, open-world map filled with content. The original, released in 2012, took place on the sprawling island of Gransys, which was quite big in its own regard. That said, ups the ante and features an even larger map, taking place in the two new regions of Vermund and Battahl, with a host of other new locations and towns added to the game.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 has enjoyed near-universal acclaim from critics, though in the immediate aftermath of its release, the open world action RPG has sparked controversy following the emergence of an in-game microtransactions store, on top of technical and performance issues found in the game’s PC version. In an update on Steam, Capcom has addressed a number of these issues, as part of which the developer confirms that it will also be adding the option to start new saves to the game’s Steam version.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 has released to mixed reviews on Steam, with numerous players expressing unhappiness at the game’s list of microtransactions.

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.

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. 

Dragon's Dogma 2's character creator is so detailed and vast because its developers scanned "nearly 80 faces for base head variations."

Dragon's Dogma 2's director says we no longer need to call the original RPG a cult game due to its sales figures and popularity.

A Far Cry 5 player made an iconic Animal Crossing location in the game using its map editor. Players enjoy using in-game building tools to mix different franchises, whether it be through character creators or map editors. This is especially true for Far Cry 5, which gives gamers the ability to build popular locations from other titles within it.

Dragon's Dogma 2's lead developers have said that players don't need to worry about the game's restricted fast travel due to the game's interesting world.

If you were hoping to dive into Dragon's Dogma 2's huge open world alongside your friends at some point in the future, you might want to temper those expectations. According to director Hideaki Itsuno, the devs haven't been considering "any form of multiplayer" at all.

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?
