Dragon’s Dogma 2 releases.

Posted by zmnteam

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is out now. The long-awaited follow-up to Capcom’s cult classic action RPG launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Depending on your region and storefront time zone, some listings may show March 21, but the worldwide release is March 22.

What is Dragon’s Dogma 2?

Set in a vast fantasy world split between rival powers, you play as the Arisen, a hero marked by a dragon and bound to a fate you did not choose. The sequel doubles down on the series’ signature blend of high-impact combat, emergent encounters, and a party system built around Pawns, AI companions that can be customized, commanded, and shared with other players.

Key features at a glance

Open-world adventure with unpredictable events, roaming monsters, and branching quests
The Pawn system returns, including your main Pawn plus recruitable Pawns created by other players
Vocations (classes) that shape your playstyle, from frontline fighters to spellcasters and hybrids
Climb and grapple large enemies for cinematic boss fights and tactical advantages
Character Creator support, letting you craft your Arisen and main Pawn before you set out

Platforms and editions

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam). Players can choose between the Standard Edition and a Deluxe Edition that bundles extra in-game items and DLC packs. Availability, pricing, and contents can vary by platform and region.

Free Character Creator tool

If you want to jump in quickly, Capcom also released a free Character Creator and Storage tool on the same platforms. You can create and save your Arisen and main Pawn in advance, then transfer your designs into the full game at launch.

Deluxe Edition pack highlights

Storefront listings for the Deluxe Edition often include the “A Boon for Adventurers – New Journey Pack” add-on. Typical items include:

Explorer’s Camping Kit (special camping gear)
Art of Metamorphosis (character editor item)
Wakestone (revival item)
Ambivalent Rift Incense (changes Pawn inclinations)
Makeshift Gaol Key (escape item)

Check your platform store page for the exact list, and avoid duplicate purchases if you already own the pack.

Quick start tips

Spend time on your main Pawn. A well-built Pawn can cover weaknesses in your vocation and keeps fights manageable.
Recruit Pawns with complementary skills, for example a healer or support caster, plus a ranged damage dealer.
Do not rush main quests. Side quests, gear upgrades, and exploration can significantly smooth the difficulty curve.
Experiment with vocations. Swapping class can open new tactics, mobility options, and counters for tough enemies.

Where to buy

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is available digitally via the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, and Steam, with physical editions offered through select retailers (availability varies by region).
