Or, why Hideaki Itsuno isn't a fan of fast travel
Capcom's upcoming and expansive open-world RPG, Dragon's Dogma 2, is one we're eagerly anticipating getting lost in, due out on PS5 on 22nd March, and getting off the beaten path and following the road less travelled is part of the appeal of a game like this. Director Hideaki Itsuno isn't a...

Purfection
Dragon's Dogma 2 becomes more real every day, and Capcom's robust RPG is starting an all-new journey on PS5 from 22nd March. But before that grand adventure can begin, players must overcome that most consistently enduring of all roleplaying challenges: character creation. As part of IGN's ongoing First coverage of the game, we got a...
News Dragon's Dogma 2's Sphinx Poses Compelling Gameplay Riddles on PS5
Riddles in the dark
Dragon's Dogma 2 is looking like a fairly radical departure from standard single-player RPG fare. One such example is a nightmarish quest giver, Capcom's depiction of the classical Sphinx, which will require the player to solve riddles with their actions rather than words. As part of IGN's ongoing First coverage of the game,...

News Dragon's Dogma 2 Will Be 'The Ultimate Dragon's Dogma'
The action RPG that wasn't "feasible" on PS3
Fans of the first Dragon's Dogma have been quick to point out just how similar Dragon's Dogma 2 seems to be when compared to its predecessor. Indeed, it's clear that the upcoming sequel isn't straying too far from the gameplay formula that made the original title so beloved — but that's not necessarily...

It adds to an...
News Dragon's Dogma 2 March 2024 Release Date Leaks, Again
It's got to be real
Well, it looks like Dragon's Dogma 2 is almost certainly going to release on the 22nd March, 2024.

It must be a bit annoying...

Date announcement incoming?
Going by the amount of gameplay footage we've seen, it's widely assumed that Dragon's Dogma 2 will probably release at some point next year. But what if it's even closer than we think?

Preview Dragon's Dogma 2 Feels Like a Remake of the First Game, in a Good Way
Heartfelt
Dragon's Dogma 2 sticks with the Dark Arisen template to a pleasant but almost surprising degree. Sequels often walk a fine balancing act as significant departures can alienate existing fans, whereas repeating the established gameplay often feels too safe. Capcom's anticipated sequel easily falls into the latter category but when the...

News No, Dragon's Dogma 2 Isn't Adding Co-Op Multiplayer
So says Capcom
Following on from its gameplay reveal at the PlayStation Showcase, we've seen a frankly surprising number of people theorising that Dragon's Dogma 2 is adding multiplayer.

Heart stopper
Those mad lads at Capcom only went and did it: Dragon's Dogma 2 appeared at the PlayStation Showcase with an actual gameplay trailer — and boy does it look good.
