Dragon's Dogma 2 Taking Inspiration from GTA 5
Capcom's upcoming action-RPG Dragon's Dogma 2 is taking at least some inspiration from Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 5.
Capcom recently updated Dragon's Dogma 2's Steam page, which now displays a release date of March 21, 2024. Interestingly, it appears that the Steam page initially listed a March 22 release date before changing it within the last few hours. It's unclear why this happened, though that date matches the one from the previous leak.
Dragon's Dogma 2 Release Date
- March 21, 2024
PEGI rated Dragon's Dogma 2 18+ earlier this month, with the origination's website listing a March 2024 release date. However, as of this writing, searching for Dragon's Dogma 2 on PEGI's official website no longer returns any results.
Presumably, there will be further clarifications during Dragon's Dogma 2's live-streamed showcase later today. Starting at 1:00 PM Pacific/4:00 PM Eastern, the fifteen-minute stream will be co-hosted by Dragon's Dogma 2 director Hideaki Itsuno and producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi. They are expected to provide a variety of new info about the game, including a deeper look at Dragon's Dogma 2's gameplay.
Capcom announced Dragon's Dogma 2 in June, offering glimpses at gameplay and some vague hints about the story. One of the most significant new features is the introduction of the Beastrens, a playable race of humanoid felines resembling lions and tigers. After awakening in a dungeon with the dragon's voice echoing in their head, players will set out on an adventure across the kingdoms of Vermund and Battahl. Along the way, they will encounter both stunning vistas and vicious monsters.
Capcom hasn't revealed much detail about the new game's story apart from the basic premise. However, the studio has teased two important characters in the form of Dragon's Dogma 2's Beastren Empress Nadinia and human archer Ulrika. The studio hasn't revealed much about either character yet, though both women are important enough to feature prominently in the game's promotional material.
