Nearly 11 years to the date of Dragon’s Dogma’s release in North America (May 22, 2012), Capcom has shared the first trailer for the highly anticipated sequel, Dragon’s Dogma 2, during Sony’s PlayStation Showcase. Powered by Capcom’s RE ENGINE, the story of Dragon’s Dogma 2 begins in a subterranean jail, where the Dragon’s voice echoes in the fog of lost memories.
In Dragon’s Dogma 2, players will have up to three mysterious otherworldly beings, called Pawns, accompany them throughout their journey. According to Capcom, Pawns create the feeling of a cooperative gameplay experience, since they offer unique characteristics, skills, and knowledge gained from their experiences with other Arisen.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 will revolve around choice, as both the party of Pawns and the enemies will react dynamically to the player’s actions on the battlefield. Players will choose the Arisen’s vocation to suit their playstyle, whether they prefer using swords, bows, or magick to defeat their enemies.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 was first announced at the start of the Dragon’s Dogma 10th Anniversary celebration. The game is currently in development for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC and no release date has been announced.
