New Dragon’s Dogma 2 footage was shared online today, providing a new look at some of the mechanics that power the highly anticipated new entry in the series by CAPCOM.
The new footage, which was shared during the CAPCOM Tokyo Game Show 2023 showcase, was presented by director Hideaki Itsuno, who highlighted how player choice is at the heart of the experience. The footage focused on some of the game’s basics, such as the Pawn system, the four starting Vocations – Fighter, Mage, Thief, Archer – accompanying NPCs, and some open-world mechanics, such as means of transportation that can carry players from one location to another which can also be attacked by monsters, day and night differences, NPCs giving quests to the player and more. The new footage also introduces the human kingdom of Vermund and the kingdom of the beastren Battahl, advanced Vocations such as Magick Archer, and more.
Sadly, the CAPCOM Tokyo Game Show 2023 showcase did not mention when Dragon’s Dogma 2 will be released, so it may be some time before we will be able to experience the game ourselves. Some additional off-screen and direct capture footage was shared online earlier today, but it is definitely not enough to make the wait for the game more bearable.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is now in development for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. A release window has yet to be confirmed.
