News New Dragon's Dogma 2 Patch Is Just Trolling Us at This Point
Dragon it out
A new update for Dragon's Dogma 2 is available to download right now on PS5, but after an eternity of silence from Capcom — outside of the game's first anniversary, which was a complete non-event anyway — this certainly isn't the kind of patch that sparks immediate hope for the title's future.

Tekken it lower
We don't envy the Tekken 8 development team right now. The popular fighting game just got its big Season 2 update, but to say that it's gone down poorly amongst players would be just about the greatest understatement of 2025 so far.
