It has been more than a year since Capcom announced it is working onDragon’s Dogma 2,but it has scarcely released information about the game ever since. As such, fans of the original 2012 game could only speculate about what the game could offer when it releases based on rumors, leaks, and what little information Capcom provides occasionally. This includesDragon’s Dogma 2receiving an age ratingfrom the Saudi Arabian ratings board.
Thankfully,Capcom’sDragon’s Dogma 2showcaserevealed many details about the game’s gameplay and plot. According to the showcase’s hosts, Hideaki Itsuno and Yoshiaki Hirabayashi,Dragon’s Dogma 2takes place in a world parallel tothe firstDragon’s Dogmagame, explaining the two games' similarities. Meanwhile, the Arisen in the game will be involved in the plots of two nations - the human kingdom of Vermund and the Beastren nation of Battahl. Interestingly, the showcase revealed that the Arisen will be entangled in a power struggle for Vermund’s throne, which is seemingly occupied by a false Arisen set up by Disa, Vermund’s Queen Regent.
As for gameplay, the showcase revealed thatDragon’s Dogma 2would introduce a new support-focused vocation exclusive to the Arisen called “Trickster.” The vocation has the Arisen wield a censer and summon illusions enemies can attack, or they can aid their Pawns in battle by buffing them with its smoke. It also showed in its later part thatplaying as a Beastren Arisenis possible, as evidenced by the showcase’s displaying of a Beastren Arisen roaring to get a drake’s attention. Elves are also present in the game, and many of them will speak in their native language, which the Arisen doesn’t understand. However, having a Pawn nearby who knows Elvish can serve as their translator, allowing both parties to communicate.
Itsuno and Hirabayashi mentioned in the showcase thatDragon’s Dogma 2is in its “final adjustments” and thatCapcom is releasingDragon’s Dogma 2on June 24, 2025. As such, fans only need to wait a bit longer to play the game and face its new monsters, such as the Talos, a humanoid golem-like titan, and the headless, sickle sword-wielding Dullahan.
