Capcom has announced a special Dragon's Dogma 2 Showcase set to premiere on November 28, offering fans a glimpse of new gameplay footage. The highly anticipated event will be broadcast at 22:00 CET on both YouTube and Twitch and will feature a presentation from game director Hideaki Itsuno and producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi. The showcase is expected to last around fifteen minutes, with a teaser already released to build excitement.
Dragon's Dogma 2, the sequel to the original Dragon's Dogma, which achieved cult status since its release in May 2012, was announced during the game's ten-year anniversary. Utilizing Capcom's RE Engine, Dragon's Dogma 2 will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam on a yet-to-be-revealed date. According to a PEGI listing, there is a tentative release slated for March 22, 2024, but this has not been officially confirmed by Capcom.
The original title, Dragon's Dogma, was first released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, followed by an expanded version, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. Since then, the game has made its way to PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. The Dragon's Dogma series also expanded into other media with a seven-episode animation series on Netflix in 2020, further cementing its place in gaming culture.
Gamers are encouraged to tune in to the Dragon's Dogma 2 Showcase for a deep dive into the game's progress, and possibly, more insights into its release date and gameplay features. The event presents an opportunity for fans and newcomers alike to discover what awaits in this new chapter of the Dragon's Dogma saga.
