Dragon’s Dogma 2 News, Tips, Tricks & Ideas

Hi PlayStation Blog readers! We are very excited to share the newest trailer for Dragon’s Dogma 2 revealed today during State of Play. In this article we will be diving deeper into some of the information revealed in it: the brand new Warfarer vocation, the vocation maisters, and the mysterious dragonsplague.

Last week, we asked you put the spotlight on the Pawns of Dragon’s Dogma 2 and share portraits using #PSshare #PSBlog. Here are this week’s highlights:

Following complaints of Dragon’s Dogma 2’s performance at launch, Capcom has released a new update for PC and PS5. It improves the quality of DLSS Super Resolution on PC while fixing an “issue related to the display of models under some specific settings.” As for PS5 players, there are now options to turn Motion Blur and Ray Tracing on or off. They can also lock the frame rate to 30 FPS.

After a long wait, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is finally available worldwide for fans and already crossed 184,000 peak concurrent players on Steam. However, despite critical acclaim, the open-world action RPG has a “Mixed” rating on Steam, where only 40 percent of its 7,103 user reviews are positive. It was in the “Mostly Negative” range a few hours prior.

Capcom’s Dragon’s Dogma 2 is out next week for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC, and what better way to prepare than a near eight-minute gameplay overview with legendary actor Ian McShane? Check it out below, as McShane covers the story, setting, combat, Pawns and various threats that plague the world.

Potentially wrapping up its series of videos on Dragon’s Dogma 2 Vocations, Capcom’s latest focuses on the Warfarer. Like the Trickster Vocation, this is available only to the Arisen and allows for utilizing multiple skills from different Vocations, like a Jack of All Trades. Check it out below.

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?

If it weren’t obvious already, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a big game. Capcom has discussed how the world is four times larger than the original and the sheer amount of side content, which some may players may end up skipping. However, when speaking to Automaton-Media, director Hideaki Itsuno revealed that it may actually be much larger than initially announced.

Much has been said about Dragon’s Dogma 2, especially with new previews and a free Character Creator going live last week. However, the scale of the experience is still relatively unknown, especially given that the world is four times larger than the original. Speaking to Automaton-Media, director Hideaki Itsuno discussed certain feats possible on current-gen hardware.

For weeks, it was assumed that Dragon’s Dogma 2 would receive a playable demo before launch (based on Steam activity). That’s turned out to be true…to an extent. During Capcom Highlights Day 1, director Hideaki Itsuno announced that the Character Creator and Storage will go live today.

The hype for Dragon’s Dogma 2 is picking up, and during Capcom Highlights Day 1, director Hideaki Itsuno dropped some new gameplay footage and details. Check it out below.

Capcom’s Dragon’s Dogma 2 has received new impressions and gameplay footage, showcasing the open-world action RPG’s combat and world design. However, following a tweet about the game running at an uncapped frame rate, Game Informer asked director Hideaki Itsuno about the same.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is an open-world action RPG but features many unorthodox aspects from other similar games. There are no quest boards or markers, with quests discovered as one explores and only one save file. The latter is in keeping with the first game, but given that the sequel’s world is four times larger, it does create some concern.

If you want to play as an Archer in Dragon’s Dogma 2 but with some magick sprinkled in, good news – the Magick Archer from the first game returns. A new Vocation trailer is available, highlighting their skills. Check it out below.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a game of many Vocations, whether you’re fighting on the frontline as the Warrior or using ranged attacks as the Archer. The Mage focuses on magic but plays a more supporting role, healing and buffing the party. If you’re keen on destruction, the Sorcerer may be more fitting.

While the Fighter Vocation in Dragon’s Dogma 2 can dish out strong melee attacks, it pales next to the Warrior. In a new trailer, Capcom showcases some of the hard-hitting strikes that the Vocation is capable of. Check it out below.

While Capcom reassesses its pricing strategy for future titles in the wake of “rising development costs”, it should be interesting to see how Dragon’s Dogma 2 fares. As the first title from the publisher priced at $69.99, it’s on a much larger scale than the original and arguably carries more hype.

After the Fighter, Thief and Archer, the Mage Vocation in Dragon’s Dogma 2 has received a dedicated trailer. Capable of wielding the elements and other mystic arts, they can pelt enemies from afar with projectiles or cast spells to buff their allies. Check it out below.

Continuing its trend of standalone trailers for each Vocation in Dragon’s Dogma 2, Capcom has released one for the Archer Vocation. Armed with a bow and arrow, it prefers to fight from range, though there’s plenty of versatility. Check it out below.

Amid rumors that Dragon’s Dogma 2 would be locked to 30 FPS on consoles, director Hideaki Itsuno has tweeted that the open-world action RPG will release with an uncapped frame rate. On the one hand, this is good news for PC players since it could mean achieving +120 FPS at higher resolutions.

Capcom continues highlighting the different Vocations for Dragon’s Dogma 2, with the latest trailer focusing on the Thief Vocation. The dual knife-wielding class is nimble and dodges attacks while dealing bursts of damage. Check out their moves below.

Even with so many big role-playing games in the coming weeks, there’s plenty of hype for Dragon’s Dogma 2. The sequel to Capcom’s 2012 action RPG, directed by Hideaki Itsuno, promises a grand scale with a world four times larger than the original. However, those hoping to make multiple saves and potentially return to previous points should note that it only has one save slot.

Ray tracing support for Dragon’s Dogma 2 was confirmed when the PC requirements went live. During Nvidia’s Special Address at CES 2024, it was announced that Capcom’s action RPG will launch with ray tracing and Nvidia DLSS 3 support.

It’s hard to believe for fans of the original, but Dragon’s Dogma 2 is out in less than three months. Considering the first game launched in 2012 for Xbox 360 and PS3 before making its way to Xbox One, PS4, PC and Nintendo Switch, it’s been a long wait.
