Dragon's Dogma II (Single Player RPG Launching March 22)
9Edit: My apologies, it seems as if I had a piece of bad information. Dragon's Domga II is done in RE engine, not UE Engine.
As an MMORPG player, my attention usually resides with the MMO/MMORPG or other online persistent world games that are in development. I do enjoy other types of games and in the last few years there have been a couple of really good single player games like Cyberpunk 2077, Dying Light 2, and of course Baldur's Gate 3, so when Dragon’s Dogma 2 came across my twitter feed I was pleasantly surprised. Billed as a “single player, narrative driven action-RPG that challenges the players to choose their own experience” I’m really hoping we get something at least on par with Baldur’s Gate in terms of companion interaction.
Looking over the design information they’ve provided on their website, it looks like DD2 is going to have your standard fantasy flair characters (Fighter and Warrior, Mage and Sorcerer, and Thief and Archer) which both you and your Pawns can use, as well as 4 classes that only the Arisen (your character) can utilize. You’ll be leading a group of you plus up to three pawns, and so far what they’ve detailed about the pawns is amazing including the Dragonsplague.
Clearly without a doubt one of the smartest decisions Capcom made was to make the character creator available for free well before launch. First of all this let’s people get in there and make a character (or up to 5) as well as their pawns (up to 5) before launch day. I love this idea since on launch day you don’t want to make a character you want to get into the adventure. I love this idea for the people who love to spend like 10 hours making a character. I love this idea for the marketing as people are sharing the character creator. This was a brilliant idea and I’m glad a game development company utilized it.
Let me know what you think. Are you going to play Dragon’s Dogma 2? Are you going to wait for the $69.99 price to drop. Are you still reading the description at this point?
