While making progress in Dragon’s Dogma 2 is already quite the challenge, the game’s save system can be just as confusing. While most of the save system seems pretty straightforward, there are certain aspects of the system found in CAPCOM’s new RPG title that have left people scratching their heads and asking for answers. Don’t expect to be save-scumming or starting a new adventure in this game as you will need to play within very strict boundaries with how this game decides to save your data. If you are someone who wants to make sure they fully understand how to save their game, you came to the right place. Let us explain how the Save System works in Dragon’s Dogma 2.

Although the last game in the Dino Crisis series came out over two decades ago, fans are desperate to bring it back to life. In an ongoing survey from Capcom, the company asks “Are there any Capcom game series (including spin-off games) that you would like to see get a sequel or new game?” Dino Crisis is at the top of the list of requested revivals, followed closely by Mega Man.

The latest Dragon's Dogma 2 update brings exciting news for Xbox players.

Dino Crisis died a grizzly death in 2003 with the action-packed Xbox-exclusive threequel. In the over 20 years since, fans have been calling for a return to the series and its more horror-oriented roots, and they were only spurred on further when Capcom remade several of its classic Resident Evils. Now, it's one of the company's most heavily requested games.

Dragon's Dogma 2 has captivated the hearts of newcomers and veterans alike, but one of its players shared a concept of how the game could further expand on its list of vocations. While the excitement around Dragon's Dogma 2 was notably high prior to release, it has since firmly established itself as Capcom's most successful launch on Steam. Despite the initial negativity over its microtransactions and performance issues, it has ultimately done little to deter players from enjoying Dragon's Dogma 2 and all the fun that its unique open world experience can provide.

The CFO of Cyberpunk and The Witcher studio CD Projekt has shared its stance on microtransactions in single-player games.

Capcom has a treasure trove of dormant IP that its fans have been waiting to see get revived for years on end, and very few of them invoke the kind of fervour that Dino Crisis does. A revival of the dinosaur-fueled survival horror series is something that fans have been demanding vocally on a consistent basis, and we recently had another example of that.

Capcom has published a player survey for Dragon's Dogma 2. It asks for opinions on various aspects of the game, including what you like and dislike about it. But the most interesting question comes right at the end, which reads: «Would you be interested in purchasing DLC for Dragon's Dogma 2, if additional contents were to be released?»

It sounds like Dragon's Dogma 2 and Rise of the Ronin — both released on Friday of last week — have struggled to make an immediate impact in the UK. While we don't have the full sales charts just yet, GamesIndustry.biz's ever-knowledgeable Christopher Dring has outlined the relative success of the new releases, and it's fair to say that neither game has done well. At least, not at retail.

Dragon's Dogma 2 has been blessed with some notable improvements via its first post-launch update. With patch 1.050, Capcom has implemented several graphics settings on PS5, and we're happy to report that the open world RPG has taken a decent step in the right direction.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is currently the game everyone online seems to be playing. Clips of open world insanity proliferate on social media platforms as players get to grips with Capcom's latest genre-defining romp, which was partly to be expected. What took players by surprise, however, was the swathe of seemingly sinister microtransactions that were made available as soon as the single-player, $70 RPG went live, as well as rough technical performance on both PS5 and PC.

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.

Just one weekend removed from the release of Dragon's Dogma 2, Capcom has confirmed that it's working on a slew of improvements, which will be coming to the game via free updates.

With Dragon's Dogma 2 currently enthralling players worldwide, it might seem too soon for some to contemplate another open world epic from storied developer Capcom, but here we are. Reliable leakster Dusk Golem let slip a few morsels from sources on Discord, and they seem pretty confident that this one will arrive in Q1 of 2025, writing, «I don't think even GTA VI would make them delay it.»

Dragon's Dogma 2 is an amazing open world RPG — we've said as much numerous times in our Dragon's Dogma 2 PS5 review. But there's also no getting around just how unoptimized the title is on a technical level. As stressed in our aforementioned review, the game's frame rate can be a problem. Most of the time, it's found hovering between 30 and 45 frames-per-second, which is fine, but it's certainly not the consistent 60fps that you want from a game that's so heavy on action.

Dragon's Dogma 2 continues to be the gift that keeps giving, with players reporting overnight the discovery of how to use the many catapults trebuchets (and ballista) left scattered around Capcom's reactive game world (though some are clearly destroyed). Even more exciting, the power and torque of these beautiful machines of siege warfare, reputedly able to launch 90kg projectiles over 300 meters in reality, can be used to smash open previously undiscovered secret areas in the game.

CD Projekt Red's chief financial officer, Piotr Nielubowicz, has said that the company doesn't "see a place" for microtransactions in its single-player games.

In Dragon's Dogma 2, you can get an incredibly powerful weapon called the Unmaking Arrow which is "said to kill [whatever it hits] instantly." However, once you've fired it from your bow, the game automatically saves and removes it from your inventory forever. As DD2 only has one save file, that means you don't get another shot. Miss or waste the arrow and you're out of luck.

There are some other small tweaks too, while Capcom dare to raise the question about future DLC in the wake of the game’s controversial microtransactions.

The first major Dragon's Dogma 2 patch has added some essential RPG features, such as the option to actually begin a new game and toggles for motion blur.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a massive game that can keep you occupied for dozens upon dozens of hours, depending on how thoroughly you choose to engage with its offerings, but if you’ve already got a hankering for more new content in the open world action RPG, that’s something that Capcom seems open to considering.
