Dragon’s Dogma 2
Released Mar 21, 2024
Rating 76/100
Playtime ~22h
Dragon's Dogma 2 is an action-RPG that launched on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S/X in March 2024. The game faced a rocky start marked by technical issues and design friction that divided players, but Capcom has spent the months since addressing concerns through iterative updates and optimizations. The studio is now preparing a major soft-relaunch centered on the Dark Arisen expansion, slated for later this year.
Before Dark Arisen arrives, Capcom is rolling out substantial free updates to the base game, including a long-awaited 60 FPS performance mode for PS5 and Xbox Series X. Rather than removing controversial mechanics outright, the developers have stated their approach focuses on adding optional systems to accommodate player preferences. Meanwhile, the modding community has already moved ahead with ambitious projects, including co-op functionality and homesteading features inspired by survival games. The Switch 2 port has also prompted broader optimization work across all platforms.
