We got a fresh look at Dragon’s Dogma 2 during Capcom’s showcase event. A lot of what we learned was that Dragon’s Dogma 2 will be similar to the original, but Capcom dropped a few tidbits worth digging into, including news about the world size and physics-based gameplay.
Dragon’s Dogma was a cult hit, having received decent reviews at launch but gathering a bigger fan following in the years since. This sequel will run on the RE engine, and original game director Hideaki Itsuno has returned for it. Capcom has kept the game mostly under wraps but previously promised AI- and physics-driven tech, along with a wide array of weapon types and classes.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 will be set in a world roughly four times the size of the original Dragon’s Dogma, director Hideaki Itsuno said during the stream. The world was already big in that game and featured very limited fast travel, so we’re hoping they’ll add mounts–a dragon maybe?–and modern fast travel options.
