Dragon's Dogma 2

Dragon's Dogma 2 is a fantasy action RPG developed and published by Capcom, released March 21-22, 2024 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows. Directed by Hideaki Itsuno and built on the RE Engine, it is a spiritual successor and parallel-world sequel to the 2012 original. Players control the Arisen, a hero whose heart was stolen by the Dragon, and travel the dual kingdoms of Vernworth (Vermund) and Bakbattahl (Battahl) alongside a loyal Pawn companion. Combat blends vocation classes, climbing onto monsters to strike weak points, and a living open world where Pawns, nightfall, and a deep day-night economy shape every journey. The game emphasizes player freedom, emergent storytelling, and the central choice of whether to challenge the Dragon's path to become the God-king.

• Vocation Class System — Ten vocations (Fighter, Archer, Thief, Mage as basic; Warrior, Sorcerer, Mystic Spearhand, Magick Archer, Trickster, and Warfarer as advanced) define weapon choice, skills, and role. Arisen can change vocations at guilds while Pawns are locked to the basic four.
• Pawn System — AI-controlled companions that the Arisen recruits, customizes, and shares across the community via Riftstones. Pawns learn tactics, give quest guidance, and can aid in battle alongside the Arisen.
• Monster Mounting & Weak Points — Common in the first game, enemies can be grappled and climbed to strike exposed weak points, topple large beasts, and harvest materials.
• Climbing & Exploration — A vast contiguous open world across Vermund and Battahl with dynamic weather, day-night cycles, Oxcart fast travel, and campsites where parties rest and cook.
• Dragonsplague — Pawns can contract a contagious mirror-plague that corrupts them over time; infected Pawns turn hostile and must be quarantined or cured.
• The Main Quest & Regalia — The Arisen pursues the stolen heart along a branching path with multiple endings, including the option to voluntarily sacrifice or challenge the Dragon's coronation.
