When is the Dragon’s Dogma 2 release date? After a long, long wait, fans of the cult RPG are getting their sequel and Capcom has begun to lift the lid on what the team has been working on when it comes to the ambitious RPG.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 was announced back in 2022 after the first game celebrated its tenth anniversary. And, the first is widely considered to be one of the best RPG games of all time by the few people who played it. Unfortunately, the game didn’t sell super well initially but built up a loyal fanbase over time and after Devil May Cry 5, Capcom let the creator Hideaki Itsuno work on a sequel, Dragon’s Dogma 2.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 release date speculation
We expect Dragon’s Dogma 2 to release in 2024 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. An official release window has not been announced but the game’s first trailer was revealed at the PlayStation Showcase and more details were shared at the Capcom Showcase 2023
Unfortunately, the game will not be released on Xbox One or PS4.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 story
Dragon’s Dogma 2 begins in an underground gaol, according to Capcom on the PlayStation Blog. This is where the Dragon’s voice echoes in the fog of lost memories and a hero must fulfill their forgotten destiny.
The dragon is the symbol of the world’s destruction and it soars with the skies with “its massive wings and breathes flames that scorch everything in its path.” Some are terrified by its presence and others worship it.
Ulrika is a pivotal character in the game. She is a bow-wielder with a deep connection to the Arisen. Nadinia is a high priestess of a new species appearing in the game for the first time.
Hopefully, Capcom will reveal more later this year before the game’s launch.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 gameplay
Among the lore and beautiful shots of the world in the Dragon’s Dogma 2 trailer, we got a look at some of the combat in Dragon’s Dogma 2. As you would expect if you played the first game, you will get to wield swords, bows, chant magick, and use a diverse set of abilities to take down monsters both old and new.
Alongside the magic and spells, we can also see that the sequel is sticking pretty close to its RPG roots with a character-focused adventure that you, the Arisen, will find yourself on.
The Capcom Showcase 2023 detailed two core mechanics in the game. Firstly Pawns are back and Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a fully single-player experience. But, playing with your Pawn, which is an AI-controlled teammate will make it feel like a co-op game. You can also bring up to two additional Pawns with you, which you borrow from other players.
Secondly, the game’s world is about four times bigger than the first game, according to Hidetaka Itsuno, the game’s director. The game is built to let you play the way you like, determining your own strategies.
So there you have it! A rundown of everything we know about the Dragon’s Dogma 2 release date, lore and story, and of course, the gameplay. It has a good shot of becoming one of the best PS5 RPG games and best Xbox RPG games, so be sure to keep an eye on it.
