Dragon's Dogma 2, the highly anticipated sequel to Capcom's original fantasy RPG, has finally rolled out its first major update, much to the delight of its fanbase. Earlier in the week, Capcom had announced their plans to update the game across various platforms, including Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PlayStation 5, and PC. After hitting the other platforms, Xbox players were left in anticipation of when the updates would reach their consoles. Capcom has reiterated the contents of the update, ensuring fans that there are exciting changes ahead, and it's now live, scheduled to hit the Xbox over the upcoming days.
The update is significant in that it brings about substantial improvements and new features to the game. Perhaps the most noteworthy change is the ability for players to start a new game when save data already exists. This is a much-welcomed feature, alleviating the frustration of having to overwrite previous saves or create new accounts for a fresh playthrough.
In addition to quality-of-life improvements, the update also augments the game technically. Players now have the option to toggle ray-tracing on or off, catering to those who prefer performance over visual fidelity. Similarly, motion blur can be switched on or off, allowing for personalization in visual effects. Furthermore, the update includes an option to cap the frame rate at 30FPS maximum. These settings can be readily adjusted in the game's options menu, indicating Capcom's commitment to providing a customizable user experience that can suit a range of preferences and hardware capabilities.
The Pawn Guild within the game will see its "Art of Metamorphosis" items increased to a quantity of 99, and a quest that permits players to acquire their own dwelling—serving as a personal safehouse where they can rest and save their progress—will be made available earlier on in the game. These gameplay adjustments add substantial depth to the player's experience, reflecting a careful consideration of player feedback.
Other technical advancements are part of the update, particularly for the Steam version. Here, gamers are to expect improved quality when DLSS SUPER RESOLUTION is enabled. Additionally, Capcom has resolved an issue concerning the display of models under specific settings. For Xbox users, improvements to framerate have been slated for future updates, suggesting continued refinements and optimization based on user feedback.
With these updates, Dragon's Dogma 2 is making strides in ensuring players have a more seamless and enjoyable gaming experience. Capcom has hinted at ongoing performance improvements, which means players can likely expect more updates in the future as the game evolves.
The overall reception of Dragon's Dogma 2 has been positive, with players voicing their experiences through different channels.
