Dragon’s Dogma 2 Shown in 18 Minutes of New Exciting Gameplay

wccftech.com:

With Dragon's Dogma 2 now less than three months away from launch, it is no big surprise that CAPCOM is considerably ramping up the marketing. A few hours ago, IGN posted over 18 minutes of exclusive new gameplay on YouTube, showing off the Fighter, Thief, Warrior, and Sorcerer vocations (the game's term for classes).

It's another chance to take a look at the upcoming action RPG, now rendered in gorgeous RE Engine graphics. Dragon's Dogma 2 will, in fact, be the first open world game made with the RE Engine, stretching its capabilities in this regard. Just like previous RE Engine games, it will support ray tracing. The PC system requirements have already been shared:

Since the game has been selected as this month's IGN First reveal, we can expect more information and media to pour through the remainder of January.

Dragon's Dogma 2 has been described as a 'fantasy world simulation game' by its creator, Hideaki Itsuno, who sought to significantly enhance the impact of physics on gameplay thanks to the increased power available to these consoles compared to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 that hosted the original game. Similarly, CAPCOM has tried to make the Pawns, the companion NPCs, more lifelike by adding not only more voice lines but also more contextual responses based on what's happening in the world.

Itsuno-san also said recently that he would have loved to make Dragon's Dogma 2 immediately after the previous installment, all the while apologizing to fans for the 12-year wait. Thankfully, it's almost time to return to this peculiar fantasy world, said to be over four times bigger than the original. The sequel is scheduled to hit PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X on March 22.
