DRAGON'S DOGMA 2: Update to Tame Dragonsplague, Ending the Complaints

Apr 21, 2024 11:00 AM

Good news for fans of Dragon's Dogma 2, as Capcom is set to roll out a patch addressing multiple issues gamers have been facing, most notably the notorious Dragonsplague. This affliction has been a double-edged sword for players' pawns, bolstering their combat prowess while also posing the risk of them turning hostile and decimating populations if not kept in check. The patch will not only make the Dragonsplague less frequent but will also enhance its visibility, making it easier for players to manage. Glowing eyes will serve as a clearer indication of infection, allowing for better monitoring and prevention of outbreaks.

Furthermore, players can expect other welcome tweaks and improvements. The patch promises to refine pawn behavior and cut down on repetitive dialogue—a common gripe within the community. It will also fix the occasional inability to interact with pawns through high-fives and reduce incidents of pawns inadvertently falling off cliffs. More detailed patch notes are anticipated later, but these announcements alone suggest a notable quality-of-life upgrade for Dragon's Dogma 2 enthusiasts.

When is the Dragon's Dogma 2 patch going live?

The exact release date for the patch has not been specified, but it was announced that it will be available sometime this month for all platforms.

As extra background information, Dragon's Dogma 2 is the sequel to the original Dragon's Dogma, an action RPG developed by Capcom initially released in 2012. The franchise is known for its vast open world, deep pawn system where players can recruit AI-controlled companions, and a unique combat system that allows players to climb and attack large monsters. It has garnered a cult following over the years, making the sequel highly anticipated. These updates show the developers' commitment to refining the game experience based on player feedback, ensuring Dragon's Dogma 2 remains a hit with its audience.
