As part of their Tokyo Game Show 2023 conference, Capcom has released an all-new Dragon’s Dogma 2 gameplay video, giving us a deep dive into not only the combat but also classes, monsters, and more!

Dragon’s Dogma 2 Gameplay Video – Tokyo Game Show 2023

A full breakdown of the above gameplay video can be found below.

• Have up to three AI-controlled pawns
• Choose from 4 starting Vocations (can be changed or combined later)
• Two main kingdoms: Vermund (human kingdom) and Battahl (beast kingdom)
• Hunt large monsters like Trolls and Griffins
• You can grab onto them and climb to reach their weak spot
• Full day/night cycle. Exploring at night is especially dangerous. Pitch-black darkness returns, and stronger monsters appear at night.
• Bring camping kits to camp out at campsites
• Advanced vocations combine aspects of the four main classes.
• Magick Archer: Combines the healing of a Mage with the long-ranged attacks of the Archer (returns from the first game)
• Confirmed for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam (no release date)

Our thoughts? Looks like Dragon’s Dogma 2 is shaping up to be a stellar follow-up to the original Dragon’s Dogma, as the sequel seems to be trying many things that the original wanted to have but couldn’t. The gameplay looks a lot smoother, with plenty of improvements seen throughout the gameplay video. We do wish they talked more about some of the newer mechanics, as well as the vocations, but we suppose we may get a deeper look at those during the special 50-minute Dragon’s Dogma 2 event happening this Sunday.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series consoles, though at the time of writing, it currently has no release date.

Thanks, Okami!
