It’s been quite a while — several Presidents, at least — since Capcom released the original Dragon’s Dogma on PS3, 360 and PC in 2012. It was an action RPG in which you played as an Arisen, a being with special abilities in a fantasy world terrorized by giant dragons and other monsters. It’s been a pretty long wait since then, but better late than never for Dragon’s Dogma 2, which has been confirmed to be arriving early next year.
The setup in Dragon’s Dogma 2 is mostly the same, except not: while the world you’re born into feels familiar, it’s a “parallel world” according to Capcom. There are two main species who live in warring civilizations: Vermund, where the humans live, and Battahl, where humanoid beasts reside. Both nations have their own problems and political strife, but dragons are their #1 problem.
You’ll have a lot more freedom to customize your Arisen in Dragon’s Dogma 2; Capcom says they’ve utilized “photogrammetry technology” to heighten the realism of your character’s appearance. You’ll then be able to pick from a number of vocations including Fighter, Archer, Thief, Mage, Magick Archer, Mystic Spearhand and the brand-new Trickster, a vocation that gives the ability to cast illusions and give support to the pawns of other players. The Trickster gets its name because they don’t have to technically enter a battle to influence it.
You can see some of these things in the full trailer that was released alongside the release date announcement (people sure say “Arisen” a lot in this game). There’s also a gameplay video that’s nearly an hour in length, but it is age-restricted so we can’t embed it (just follow this link). Dragon’s Dogma 2 will be released March 22, 2024 on Playstation 5, XBox Series and PC
