Capcom is set to launch Dragon’s Dogma 2 in March, marking the return of the popular action RPG series after 12 years. Fans are excited to see the improvements in technology and open-world game design since the last installment in 2012.

Here’s a simplified overview of what you should know about Dragon’s Dogma 2 ahead of its release in a month.

Latest News on Dragon’s Dogma 2

Dragon’s Dogma 2 will have an uncapped frame rate

The director of the game, Hideaki Itsuno, has stated that Dragon’s Dogma 2 will not have a hard cap on its rendering capability and will feature an uncapped frame rate from the start, however, he has left many finer parts of that statement up for interpretation.

Some fans assumed that Itsuno’s statement, which lacked any mention of a specific platform, meant that the guarantee of an uncapped frame rate applied to all Dragon’s Dogma 2 versions, and many went so far as to post such statements on social media. Although the reply refutes the idea that the RPG will only be able to run at 30 frames per second, it is unclear whether the game would be able to regularly reach 60 frames per second on consoles due to its uncapped frame rate.

Release Date for Dragon’s Dogma 2

The game is set to release on March 22, 2024, which is less than a couple of months away. Fans are thrilled as the sequel had been rumored for years, and now with an official release date, excitement is building up. While delays are always a possibility, let’s hope the game stays on schedule for a timely and eagerly awaited release.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 Platforms

Dragon’s Dogma 2 will be accessible on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. You can secure your copy by pre-ordering it on Steam.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 Storyline

A parallel universe that “mirrors the world setting of the original game” is the setting for the sequel, Dragon’s Dogma 2. Similar to the original game, the sequel centers on the Arisen, who set out on a dangerous quest to recover the heart that the Dragon stole.

According to official information, the story opens in an underground prison where the voice of the Dragon may be heard over the mist of forgotten past, “Ascend, Arisen, and best me, in accordance with the dogma of this world.”

The player is engaged in a struggle for control of the throne in Vermund, the human kingdom, and in Battahl, a “rugged canyon nation” that is home to the beastren under the leadership of the pretest Nadinia. These two rich kingdoms make up the world. Between these two countries and their disparate cultures and ideologies, the player finds themselves entangled.

Now, based on the given info, you must be curious if Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a direct sequel to Dragon’s Dogma. Well, Dogma 2, though named as a sequel, isn’t a direct follow-up to the 2012 original. The upcoming game features a map four times larger than the first, set in a parallel world. New characters and different dragons will be introduced, and the expanded map will take players to unexplored lands. This offers the series a chance to begin anew, providing fans with a fresh storyline after a decade-long wait.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 Gameplay

In addition to having a whole new plot, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a major improvement over its predecessor thanks to a number of added and enhanced features.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 gameplay reveals that it is an action-packed role-playing game centered on third-person combat and player choice. The player character’s class determines how they fight in the game. Moreover, Dogma’s pawn system is back from the original game. AI-controlled allies called pawns are intended to provide a sense of belonging inside the single-player experience. You can move with one pawn made by you and up to two pawns made by other players.

In addition, Dogma 2 features a map that is over four times larger than the first and is set in a high-fantasy realm influenced by medieval and classical art. In this title, players will not be able to rely on unfettered quick travel when exploring the map. Though movement takes on a new dimension with the advent of Oxcarts, which allow transit along designated paths, the game is meant to be played on foot.

Hence, based on the revealed details, Dragon’s Dogma 2 seems to build upon all of the aspects of the original game that we found enjoyable and introduces some clever changes to the way challenges are managed and the way the game’s vast environment is explored.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 Modes

Unfortunately, Dragon’s Dogma 2 will only be a solo adventure. Like the first game, players will navigate the map and story on their own. Despite being a single-player experience, exploring the vast world of the game should still be exciting, as the original game offered a large landscape with diverse monsters to encounter.

Is Dragon’s Dogma 2 Open-world?

If you love big RPGs like Skyrim and The Witcher, you’ll be excited to know that Dragon’s Dogma 2 is going to be a massive open world, even larger than its predecessor. 

The map was initially supposed to be twice the size of the first game, but it has now quadrupled in size. This means a continuously expanding storyline, giving you various chances to shape how the game’s ending unfolds, just like in the original one and other games like Red Dead Redemption 2.
