New Dragon’s Dogma 2 footage was shared online today, providing a new look at some of the mechanics that power the highly anticipated new entry in the series by CAPCOM.

The new footage, which was shared during the CAPCOM Tokyo Game Show 2023 showcase, was presented by director Hideaki Itsuno, who highlighted how player choice is at the heart of the experience. The footage focused on some of the game’s basics, such as the Pawn system, the four starting Vocations - Fighter, Mage, Thief, Archer - accompanying NPCs, and some open-world mechanics, such as means of transportation that can carry players from one location to another which can also be attacked by monsters, day and night differences, NPCs giving quests to the player and more. The new footage also introduces the human kingdom of Vermund and the kingdom of the beastren Battahl, advanced Vocations such as Magick Archer, and more.

    I played the first one pretty much at launch and I finished and liked it a lot but the backtracking killed it for me. It was just way too much walking around ignoring mobs because I had fought them so many times every time I walked back to town. I know they fixed this somehow on later patches. Hope they bring along all the QOL updates the first one got.
