After twelve long years since the release of Capcom’s cult action RPG, Dragon’s Dogma, its sequel, Dragon’s Dogma 2 will finally be released on March 22, 2024, for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam. This highly anticipated Xbox title casts the player in the role of the Arisen, a cursed mortal with the power to summon Pawns from beyond the rift and is destined to do battle with an ancient dragon that has terrorized the land for eons.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 aims to improve upon all the aspects that the original Dragon’s Dogma loved by fans and critics with a bigger open world to explore, upgraded gameplay systems and mechanics, a more in-depth storyline, and much more.
