About Dragon's Dogma 2

The first edition of Dragon's Dogma gained a large following back in 2012. This Gothic-like role-playing game benefited from its freely explorable game world and its unique pawn system, which allowed the player to have up to four AI companions chosen from a large pool.

Dragon's Dogma 2 retains all the essential elements of its predecessor, including the third-person perspective, and introduces a new Illusionist vocation to the class system. The story takes place in a parallel world where two nations with different approaches are fighting against the dragons.

Dragon's Dogma 2 Release Date & Pre-order 01

This boss enemy from Dragon's Dogma 2 is reminiscent of Kratos from Conan Exiles.

The first nation, the Kingdom of Vermund, is known for its Queen Regent Disa, who employs a false Arisen to secure power for her son. Battahl, the other nation, sees the "different" pawns as a source of misfortune and has turned to the worship of the Radiant Flame and Empress Nadinia to confront the threat of dragons.

Other highlights: Dragon's Dogma 2 also introduces the use of photogrammetry in character creation, aiming to create an even more realistic appearance for the Arisen hero or heroine. Additionally, the personality of the main pawn can be determined, influencing available dialogue options and the pawn's general behavior.
