Dragon’s Dogma 2 Adds Casual Mode and Upgrades Before PS5 Pro Patch

Sep 17, 2024 8:27 AM

Capcom's recent update for Dragon's Dogma 2 introduces a new casual mode and numerous performance enhancements. The casual mode aims to simplify gameplay by reducing inn fees, lowering the cost of Ferrystones, easing weight restrictions, and minimizing stamina consumption outside of battle. Additionally, players will find upgrades to vocations and significant fixes focusing on CPU overload and framerate improvements, especially in crowded town environments. The update allows players to switch to casual mode mid-game but note that some trophies can't be earned in this setting. Dragon's Dogma 2 is also set to receive a PS5 Pro Enhanced patch in November, which hopes to optimize performance significantly on the new console.
