Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a single player, narrative driven action-RPG that challenges the players to choose their own experience – from the appearance of their Arisen, their vocation, their party, how to approach different situations and more - in a truly immersive fantasy world.
Developed by CAPCOM Co., Ltd. · Published by CAPCOM Co., Ltd.









You play as the Arisen, a customizable adventurer whose journey through a fantasy world is shaped by your chosen vocation, appearance, and party. The story follows the Arisen’s path toward a dragon, while townspeople and travelers offer quests and favors along the way.
Fight with weapons and magic using vocation-specific moves and skills. Battles include large monsters that can be climbed and attacked at weak points, while terrain and party tactics can affect how encounters unfold.
Create a main Pawn to accompany you, then recruit up to two more Pawns through the network for your single-player party. Explore routes, caves, and settlements, gather supplies, rest at camps, and develop your character by unlocking skills and changing vocations.
Players who enjoy Dragon’s Dogma 2 often praise its weighty, physical combat, the variety between vocations, and the distinctive Pawn companions that fight, talk, and help guide the journey. Exploration also appeals to players who like discovering routes and encounters on their own. These strengths are not universal: reviews frequently criticize performance, repeated enemies, and parts of the story and quest design.
