Capcom loves a good pre-release demo, and fans think they have found evidence of one for Dragon's Dogma 2 ahead of its PS5 launch next month. An update to the PC version on Steam apparently now brings up an extra app that's listed as "free on demand"; this is supposedly the text associated with demos uploaded to the digital marketplace. Due to that, a Dragon's Dogma 2 demo is thought to be on the way, presumably for all platforms.
The Japanese publisher has a consistent streak of providing demos for its upcoming titles prior to launch, so one for Dragon's Dogma 2 wouldn't exactly come as a surprise. The game's out on 22nd March 2024 — the same day as Rise of the Ronin — so if a demo is indeed on the way, expect Capcom to share word within the next few weeks.
Would you want to take Dragon's Dogma 2 for a spin before buying it with a demo? Let us know in the comments below.

Time to count that frame rate so the whole conversation can start over again!
Nah I'm waiting for the release before I start playing. There will be people moaning about it no doubt as with the first game but I know I'm going to love it so I'll hang on. Plenty of helldivers 2 to be playing if the servers ever get fixed 🤣
I will only play if you get free goodies like the FF7 demo.
But I already preordered and there’s so many games out in February! Lol.
Honestly, I feel like this, FF7, Banishers, Helldivers, Tekken, Prince of Persia, and Pacific Drive are the ultimate line-up for me for the first half of the year. I’m almost hoping for a Direct, so I can get it out of the way and know if I’m bulking the release schedule at all. Only thing I’m missing is games to play with the kids. 2024 might top 2023 by the end of March. Lol. With my taste anyway!
Hoping for that Rise of the Ronin demo
@Vivisapprentice this. Rise of the Ronin and Stellar Blade need demos
I'll download it and play it for hours, should it happen. I played the original DD on 360, and while I disliked the framerate there, even back then, it fast became one of my favourite games. I've been waiting for 12 bloody years!
Want it but don’t need it. As Dogma 1 is one of my all time favorite games, I know I’m day 1 on this.
Yes! Keep the demos going Capcom!
@ShogunRok Unstable 60 = No Buy
I'd be curious to try a demo. I played a few hours of the original and found it to be really dull, but I'll admit the trailers for the sequel have been pretty impressive. I'm still not excited about the straight medieval fantasy thing, but I'll give it a whirl.
I’ve already preordered it, but I’ll play the demo just to play around with the character creation in readiness for the full release
That's the only step I need to buying the game
Have to hook up my frame rate counter for this. If it drops below 29.. no bueno, pre-order canceled + I'll go a wave of negativity on social media.
@Kyushutrail same for me.
My hype is at an all time low, so it's basically their chance to impress.
@Frmknst What's your issue with it? I'm about 12 hours in and so far, I think it's really good. Negatives, I would say the lip sync animations don't really match up well with what they are saying. The other is, the controls are a little wonky, but I've gotten used to it for the most part.
Good - don't paywall it behind PS+ Premium, Fony.
When is the demo coming out. Anyone know?
