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?

A whopping 12 years following the release of Dragon’s Dogma for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is on the horizon, set to hit PC and modern consoles in only a few short weeks. Despite fans of the first game begging for multiplayer elements in Capcom’s newest title, director Hideaki Itsuno has shot down this dream in a new interview with Automation Media.
