What is Dragon’s Dogma 2? Release Date, Gameplay, Story, and more!

After nearly a decade or more of waiting, Dragon's Dogma 2 has finally been shown to the masses via the PlayStation Showcase 2023 event. As someone who has been a massive fan of both the original and the MMO, I couldn't be happier. Here's everything we know about this glorious title.

What is Dragon's Dogma 2's Release Date?

Unfortunately, we didn't get a release date for Dragon's Dogma 2 at the showcase. However, we know that the title has been in development for some time, and the gameplay shown proves that. We'll keep you up-to-date once a release is announced. I personally am hoping for an end-of-year release, but it is possible Dragon's Dogma won't release until 2024.

What kind of gameplay does Dragon's Dogma 2 have?

Dragon's Dogma 2 is an action RPG, faithful and true. Face off against giant monsters, and use the franchise's signature climbing mechanic to get a foothold on beasts way larger than life. The gameplay trailer shows plenty of spellcasting and sword swing action akin to the prequel, but we'll keep you up-to-date on any new developments in the sequel title.

What is the story of Dragon's Dogma 2?

The footage shown for Dragon's Dogma 2 was entirely focused on gameplay, so we have no accurate information on what the story offers. Still, if we go by the prequel, the story will likely relate to the heritage of dragons and how the protagonist relates to them in some way, just as the title implies.

Is Dragon's Dogma 2 multiplayer?

According to the official Dragon's Dogma 2 website, Dragon's Dogma 2 is a single-player experience. This is rather disappointing, especially considering that the original game was planned to be co-op, and the MMORPG was a fullly co-op experience.

I'm curious about whether the character-created NPCs you can hire will return, as that was a cool and interesting feature of Dragon's Dogma.
