Dragon’s Dogma 2 is final here. Here’s everything we know about Capcom’s latest open-world adventure.
The hype surrounding Dragon’s Dogma has reached a fever pitch now that the game is here. Like the first game, Dragon’s Dogma is an open-world fantasy adventure where players assume the role of an “Arisen” a legendary hero destined to slay an ancient dragon and assume the throne.
The original game introduced the Pawn system which allowed players to team up with some AI-controlled allies who could back them up in combat. It was also possible to download the avatars of other players to use as Pawns. While the games don’t contain multiplayer, this is a way players could adventure together and continue to level up even when they weren’t playing themselves. Here’s everything you need to know about Dragon’s Dogma 2.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 gameplay
Dragon’s Dogma 2 features a vast open world the player can explore with their Pawn allies, slaying monsters and completing quests for NPCs. The game borrows from Capcom’s own Monster Hunter series as well as games like Dark Souls, The Witcher, and The Elder Scrolls, being a fun hybrid of them all in many ways.
As players progress in the story, they’ll need to eventually locate and defeat a large dragon, claiming the throne when they do. A lot of the gameplay is connected to the Pawn system, with players fielding a team of AI allies and carefully selecting Pawns that benefit their style of play the most.
For example, if you’re playing as a wizard it could pay to bring Pawns who can protect you in combat while you cast spells. Or, if you’re playing as a knight, it could be helpful to bring some elemental caster or archer Pawns to support you from a distance.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 story
The game takes place in a “parallel world” of its predecessor and players will have to choose sides in the conflict to deal with the False Arisen, a challenger to the Dragon’s power.
To achieve this goal, the player will need to go on an epic quest to prove their identity and command the Pawn Legion, an enigmatic group of warriors from across the multiverse.
Essentially, the story will follow a similar pattern to the original, however, we expect there to be some twists along the way.
