The game’s director is Hideaki Ituno, who stated that one of the team’s main objectives was to bring improvements to the game’s gameplay mechanics, and to include features that had been cut from the original game due to the lack of technology at that time. Itsuno further stated that the sequel may not have as many elements that feel brand new or different as the first game, but that it will be more refined and improved to provide a more immersive experience for the player.

Dragon’s Dogma 2’s release date was announced by the publisher in June 2022. The game was further announced at a showcase in November 2022. It was then announced that the game will be released for PlayStation 5 and Windows, as well as Xbox Series X/S, on 22 March 2024.

Is Dragons Dogma 2 Multiplayer?

Dragon's Dogma was a huge success for Capcom, offering an action RPG with an open world, tons of enemies to fight, and a combat system that many compared to Dark Souls and Monster hunter. Dragon's Dogma 2 won't have multiplayer like its predecessor. Director Hideaki Itsuno said during the game's most recent showcase at the Capcom showcase that Dragon's Dogma 2 will be a one-player game, but it'll feel more like co-op because of the game's Pawn system.

The original Dragon's Dogma introduced the Pawn mechanic which gave players the ability to fully personalize a second AI character who would travel with them and help them during combat. You can also add two more support Pawns to form a 4 person team. You can also borrow support Pawns from players who have made their own main Pawn and shared them online.

In this way, the game will have an online community, but multiplayer is not a feature that will be built into the game. There’s a slight possibility that multiplayer could be included as a downloadable content (DLC) mode, but since the Pawn system is designed for single-player gameplay, that’s unlikely.

Dragons Dogma 2 Release Date

Dragon's Dogma 2 will be available on March 22nd, 2024, unless there are any unexpected delays. The sequel to Dragon's Dogma, Dragon's Breath of the Wild, is an action RPG in the third-person perspective. The player controls The Arisen, who hunts down legendary enemies and faces an epic tale of faith and dragons.

The player is aided by non-player characters known as pawns. In DD2, characters give you directions and instructions, or you might just get lucky and have a Pawn that knows exactly where to go. The save file in DD2 will be the same as in the original Dragon's Dogma. You will need to delete your previous save file in order to begin a new character or playstyle.

This can be beneficial in terms of exploration and making decisions more impactful as you won't be able to go back and look at what might have happened. However, some players will find it frustrating not being able to play with multiple character classes and play styles. Taking inspiration from three of the best-selling games of the last few years, this promises to be an organic and rewarding experience.

Dragon's Dogma 2 Gameplay

Dragon’s Dogma 2, also known as Dragon’s Moon, is a 3rd-person action RPG. The player plays as the character called the “Arisen,” a dragon-marked hero who must defeat enemies, explore the world they inhabit, take part in quests, and fight monsters, all while getting caught in a geopolitical tug-of-war between rival kingdoms.

The Arisen is aided by allies known as “Pawns,” non-player characters that join the player’s party. These characters are AI controlled, but function as player-controlled Avatars, aiding in combat, giving information about enemies, and guiding current quests. You can create and customize your avatar, as well as your own Pawn, with different gender, appearance, and race options. Additionally, you can recruit two other Pawns from other players.

The Arisen and the Pawns both work under a “vocation” – a set of abilities and equipment that defines what they can do in battle, with their strengths and weaknesses being different. Vocations range from basic to advanced to hybrid, with the latter only available to Arises; and only the Arises and their pawns can change their vocations.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 takes place in a smooth open world that’s four times the size of the original game’s map, and it’s set in a parallel universe to that of its predecessor. The game’s world is divided into two major kingdoms: Vermund, home to humans, and Battahl, home to cats and elves.

Players can quickly travel between the two kingdoms using ferrystones or oxcarts. It’s possible to set up camp at night at various campsites throughout the game world, and emergent events can occur throughout the game, which forces players to respond and adapt.
