Capcom unveils Dragon's Dogma 2 update plans

Capcom has revealed upcoming update plans for "Dragon's Dogma 2," promising enhancements that have been highly requested by its player community. The updates are intended to address gameplay improvements and technical enhancements across various platforms. One major gameplay update allows starting a new game while maintaining an active save file. Moreover, "Art of Metamorphosis" items available at Pawn Guilds will be increased to 99, allowing players more flexibility in character customization. Additionally, acquiring a personal house in the game will be made easier and quicker for players.

Technical improvements are on the way for console players with options to disable Motion Blur and Ray-Tracing and adjust frames per second (fps) settings, including a variable fps and a 30 fps limit option. While emphasizing that these options won't immediately raise the current fps, Capcom is aiming for performance boosts in future updates. The PC version will see enhancements with DLSS delivering better results and the decoupling of in-game model quality from certain graphical settings.

Aside from "Dragon's Dogma 2," other Capcom news hinted at "Resident Evil 9" potentially being an open-world game.

Players can look forward to the possibility of starting a new game without overwriting current saves, an increase of "Art of Metamorphosis" items at Pawn Guilds, easier house purchases, disabling Motion Blur and Ray-Tracing on consoles, fps setting adjustments, improved DLSS performance on PC, and better in-game model quality independent of other graphics settings.

Background Info: "Dragon's Dogma" is an action role-playing game developed and published by Capcom. The original game was released in 2012 and was well-received for its vast open world, engaging action combat, and the Pawn system that allows players to recruit other players' characters to aid in battle. Its unique blend of Western and Japanese RPG elements made it a cult classic. Given the first game's success, "Dragon's Dogma 2" has been a highly anticipated title among fans of the series, and the updates suggest Capcom is responsive to their feedback and committed to enhancing the gameplay experience.
