Cross-platform play and cross-save progression have become more popular and somewhat invaluable in modern gaming. After all, who doesn’t want to be able to play some of the greatest games alongside their friends regardless of their platform of choice, or carry over their save files to new platforms so they don’t have to start from scratch?
Unfortunately, not every game has these convenient features and one of those unlucky titles is Capcom’s highly anticipated, Dragon’s Dogma 2. Dragon’s Dogma 2 is an action RPG where you play as the Arisen, a cursed warrior who, alongside his Pawn companions, is charged with saving the world by slaying an evil ancient dragon.
