Some Dragon's Dogma 2 fans are starting to get their hopes up for a DLC announcement at this week's Summer Game Fest. As always, we'd be somewhat wary of such speculation, but there is decent enough reasoning behind this line of thinking.
The event's promotional trailer — put together by host Geoff Keighley himself — heavily features clips from Dragon's Dogma 2. The open world RPG is shown alongside upcoming games like Star Wars Outlaws, Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero, Phantom Blade Zero, and more. Of course, all of those titles are already confirmed to be putting in an appearance.

So, is it worth getting your hopes up? Well, we know that Capcom likes its expansions, and it feels like Dragon's Dogma 2 could do with a big addition. The only thing that doesn't quite line up is the timing; the game only launched a couple of months ago, and so a full DLC reveal might seem a bit too soon. That said, a launch date later in the year, or in early 2025, would fit Capcom's typical pattern of releasing expansions.
As for the game featuring so prominently in the trailer, there's a chance that Keighley's simply cherry picking from one of the year's biggest titles. After all, the video is partly meant to "celebrate great games so far in 24". Or maybe Geoff's just a massive Dragon's Dogma fan — we don't know.
In any case, we'll have a definitive answer soon enough. Do you believe in a Dragon's Dogma 2 announcement at Summer Game Fest? What do you actually want from an expansion? Level up your vocation in the comments section below.

I think Geoff is a big Dragon's Dogma fan, as well a huge Geoff Keighley fan.
Funnily enough, SF6 and MH Wilds were also shown off in that sizzle reel; how much is Capcom planning to show off!? XD
Dragon's Dogma 2 getting DLC just makes a ton of sense honestly: Capcom is always a fan of looking for ways to make more money off of a game's release (with DD2 itself perhaps being one of more infamous examples of that recently XD) so a Dark Arisen-styled expansion feels like a no-brainer really.
I’m playing the game right now and I have roughly 90hrs with it, and I need more. The announcement of DLC would be amazing. I haven’t been this immersed in a game in an incredibly long time.

@TheAmbienWalrus That’s the crazy thing. I usually start feeling the burn out around the 50 hour mark of most, if not at all games. But with Dragon’s Dogma 2, I’m not even remotely close to that feeling. It may come, but it hasn’t yet and it’s shocking. It may go down as my favorite RPG of all time. The open world is so rich and surprising, with new paths and caves appearing out of nowhere even though I passed it a hundred times. In fact, even after 90 hours I’ve set to find the Sphinx. I’m ignoring guides and hoping to find her naturally as I did with the Medusa. But I really want to experience that.
I only just started Dragons Dogma 2 last weekend and it's been amazing so far, I can spend hours and hours just exploring and always find something new and caves to explore, I haven't had this much fun and freedom exploring a map since Zelda BoTW. So yeah I'm down for some DLC but I'm hoping it's more than what Dark Arisen was, maybe a new big map to explore with new biomes and enemies.
I don't care. Dragon's Dogma 2 has been by far the biggest disappointment of the year for me. The story is less interesting, the characters make no impression, all of its most innovative gameplay ideas feel like they were made to be openly antagonistic to the player, and worst of all, it just doesn't feel as good to play as the original. If this is really Itsuno's vision, than it's no wonder he had to wait until Capcom was literally bulletproof to get it made.
@Enuo careful now, on this site when you speak bad about DD2 they crawl out of the woodwork ( with their " randomly generated" orcs🤣🤣 ) and lose their bananas,
@Uromastryx They can buy my apology for $1.99
Ngl I enjoyed my first few hours with the game then it got boring fast. Idk why but the game just didn't click with me like the first one even though it looks like a complete upgrade
Im def down for some dlc though it would be a while before i would get it. I have limited gaming time and i still have lots of exploring to go. Its easily my favorite game this year so far though ff rebirth and stellar blade are good.
I've racked up over 300 hours on DD2 across my two Arisens. I'm ready for a whole lot more.
