Today's showcase, hosted by Dragon's Dogma 2 director Hideaki Itsuno and producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, provided a first look at the new Trickster vocation, as well as the Warrior and Sorcerer vocations returning from the first game, and revealed several of the game's new enemies, including the massive Talos, «a towering bronze golem capable of wreaking untold destruction with a single step,» as well as the spectral Dullahan and dragon-like Drake.

Dragon's Dogma 2's «intuitive and deep character creator» character creator was also on display: At the start of the game, players will have the opportunity to create both their Arisen in-game avatar and their Main Pawn, the not-quite-human followers who will accompany them through the game. Players will be able to customize their Pawn's personality, which will impact their behavior and conversational choices throughout the game, and
