Great news for those excited about the upcoming Dark Fantasy Role Playing Game (RPG) Dragon dogma 2. Developer Capcom has released a free character creator available on Steamthe PlayStation Storeand the Xbox store.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 character creator and save lets you create your Arisen, the player character, as well as your main pawn, who will act as your companion throughout the game. You can save up to five appearances for each. The character creation tools are impressively versatile and will save you a lot of time in the run-up to the game by worrying about your character early on.
Elves, animal people, and plain old humans come in a variety of body types, allowing you to build all kinds of characters from harnessed lions to short kings.
Dragon dogma 2 is scheduled for release on March 22, 2024, so there are still a few weeks to go before the big day. But what better way to spend the next two weeks than endlessly adjusting the character sliders in an attempt to build the perfect protagonist?
Ny Breaking Gaming’s hardware editor Rhys Wood spent three hours with a hands-on preview of the game and got to try out two Dragon dogma 2‘s lessons – known as ‘Vocations’ – for themselves. Rhys was impressed by the game’s “huge world” and “fully explorable open map”, which was “filled to the brim with all manner of bandits and beasts”.
Rhys spoke fondly of the RPG’s environmental design, saying that while “dangers do indeed lurk in set locations (…) it really felt like events and encounters me – not the other way around.”
In my own previous hands-on with Dragon dogma 2 last year I found the environments just as impressive. I praised the title’s “unapologetic commitment to a traditional, medieval fantasy aesthetic” alongside the title’s “satisfying” and “intentional” combat design.
Dragon dogma 2 releases on March 22 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
