Dragon’s Dogma II was één van de grote games van de Tokyo Games Show 2023. De zeer geanticipeertde single player RPG van de makers van Devil May Cry, was speelbaar op de beursvloer. Een heleboel preview gameplaybeelden zijn daarom vrijgegeven en wij hebben deze voor jullie hieronder op een rijtje gezet.
Capcom heeft zelf ook een kleine presentatie gehouden over Dragon’s Dogma II met een focus op Vocations, de classes als het ware in deze game. Er zijn aan het begin van de game vier Vocations namelijk Fighter, Archer, Thief en Mage. Later in de game krijg je toegang tot nog twee geavanceerde Vocations namelijk Magick Archer en Mystic Spearhand. De beschrijving per Vocation is als volgt:
- Fighter – The Fighter wields a sword and shield to slice through enemy ranks and deliver powerful blows, while also using shields to protect themselves and their allies.
- Archer – Archers utilize the bow and arrow to strike enemies from afar and excel at targeting airborne foes or creating opportunities for follow up attacks after striking enemy weak points.
- Thief – Attacks with deadly speed, dealing rapid and consecutive strikes with daggers in both hands while exhibiting outstanding mobility. They quickly step away after striking, exploit openings to cling onto enemies, and inflict heavy damage. Thieves may steal from enemies and NPCs alike.
- Mage – Wielding a staff, the Mage offers support to their party in various ways: from launching magick attacks, offering enchantments that bolster party members’ weapons, to casting healing spells.
- Magick Archer – Using magickal arrows, the Magick Archer has a versatile move-set capable of attacking, healing allies, or even learning a custom skill that unleashes a devastating attack over a wide area, in exchange for reducing their own maximum HP.
- Mystic Spearhand – The Mystic Spearhand makes use of their unique Duospear and magick to attack enemies up close or from afar with punishing strikes or magick that can paralyze enemies or hurl multiple objects at them.

Dit zijn de key features van Dragon’s Dogma II volgens Capcom:
- A Grand Adventure – Dragon’s Dogma II begins in a subterranean jail, where the Dragon’s voice echoes in the fog of lost memories. With their heart taken by the Dragon, the Arisen is set on a path to slay that symbol of the world’s destruction as it soars through the sky on massive wings, breathing flames that scorch everything in its path. With the Arisen’s future veiled in mystery, what challenges and triumphs await on the path to their destiny?
- Single-Player Cooperation – Up to three mysterious otherworldly beings, known as Pawns, accompany the Arisen throughout their journey. Pawns create the feeling of a cooperative gameplay experience by offering unique characteristics, skills, and knowledge gained from their experiences with other Arisen.
- Made with RE ENGINE – Capcom’s advanced RE ENGINE produces vividly detailed, high fidelity graphics combined with immersive physics and complex and reactive character AI to create a setting where decisions, and their consequences, come to life
Dragon’s Dogma II heeft nog geen releasedatum. De game is in ontwikkeling voor de PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox Series S en Xbox Series X.
