Dragon’s Dogma 2 to Get ‘Start New Game’, Art of Metamorphosis Item Boost, Max 30fps Option, and More in Future Patch
25.03.2024 - 13:35 / ign.com
Capcom has revealed planned updates for the recently released Dragon’s Dogma 2.
The headline here is the addition of the option to start a new game when save data already exists. Inexplicably, Dragon’s Dogma 2 does not include this option, although modders have already brute forced it into the PC version.
Elsewhere, Capcom said it will boost the number of Art of Metamorphosis items available at Pawn Guilds to 99. Art of Metamorphosis lets you edit your character, and is one of many day-one microtransactions Capcom is currently selling for real-world money.
Meanwhile, Dragon’s Dogma 2 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S will get various graphics and performance options, including a toggle for motion blur and ray tracing. Crucially, Capcom will add the option to switch frame-rate to either variable or max 30fps. Players have criticized Dragon’s Dogma 2’s frame-rate, which Capcom has said is linked to stress put on CPUs by a large number of NPCs. It’s worth noting that Capcom said the motion blur and ray tracing toggle will not improve the game’s frame-rate significantly, but meaningful improvements are coming further down the line.
“To all Dragon's Dogma 2 players!” Capcom said in its statement. “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!”
Despite a controversy over microtransactions and a backlash to the game’s performance, particularly on PC, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is the biggest launch for a single-player Capcom game on Steam, with an impressive 228,585 peak concurrents over the weekend.
