Capcom makes Dragon's Dogma 2's March 2024 release date official following leaks
In news that'll surprise no-one who's been following the various leaks leading up to today's official announcement, Capcom has confirmed Dragon's Dogma 2 will launch for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC on 22nd March next year.
That date first emerged earlier this month, when it was spotted as part of a (quickly removed) listing on the PEGI ratings board website. It then prematurely resurfaced on Steam today, all but confirming its accuracy — but it wasn't until Capcom's latest Dragon's Dogma 2 showcase this evening that it was made official.
And official it now is, with Dragon's Dogma 2 director Hideaki Itsuno and producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi confirming the news during a 15-minute livestream that also featured a lengthy new trailer blending gameplay and cutscenes. Tucked in there was Talos, a truly colossal armoured soldier striding forth from the depths of the ocean, that Capcom seems particularly proud of — so much so that we got an extended look at the fight in action.
Capcom also teased a new side quest — highlighting an elven enclave where the local language must be translated by a suitably skilled Pawn before it can be understood by players — plus we got a look at the game's striking new character creator, the new Trickster vocation (whose weapon can spew illusion-conjuring smoke) and more.
Pre-orders for Dragon's Dogma 2's Standard and Deluxe Editions open today, the latter including a special camping kit and other items to «help you prepare for your journey». Pre-ordering the standard edition gets you bonus weapons for Dragon's Dogma 2's four starter vocations, while «additional accessories» come with pre-orders of the Deluxe Edition.
