Dragon’s Dogma update adds frame rate cap, ray tracing toggle options

Dragon’s Dogma 2 sales have surpassed 2.5 million units, ten days after its March 22 release date, Capcom has said.

Capcom is seeking feedback on Dragon’s Dogma 2 following the game’s release last week.

Dragon's Dogma 2director Hideaki Itsuno has shared that the game's most devastating feature was being considered as early as the series' 2012 original.

Dragon's Dogma 2 players aren't impressed by the enemy variety in the RPG and feel let down by the promises its developer made before release.

Dragon's Dogma 2's most divisive feature, the dreaded Dragonsplague, was first thought about 10 years ago but couldn't be realized because of the technological shortcomings of the time.

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. 

Capcom has detailed some of its planned updates for Dragon’s Dogma 2.

Capcom took to the Steam forums to address Dragon's Dogma 2 player backlash after the game was review bombed. Most of the negative criticism is due to the appearance of several microtransaction items after Dragon's Dogma 2 was released on Steam, including some that jeopardize all the claims that director Hideaki Itsuno and the team have made about the game's intended design.

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.

Capcom has confirmed it is aware of frame rate issues in Dragon's Dogma 2 on PC and is looking to improve performance in the future.

It's been almost 12 years since the first Dragon's Dogma dropped on PS3 and Xbox 360, and four years since the anime, but it's finally time to return to the world of the Arisen.
