‘Dragon’s Dogma II’ Arrives March 22, 2024 for PC and Consoles; Pre-orders Open Now [Trailer]
Capcom has finally announced that Dragon’s Dogma II will be coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam on March 22, 2024. Pre-orders for the follow-up to the 2012 original are up now, complete with pre-order bonuses. Capcom made the announcement during the scheduled showcase event, which included new gameplay reveals with director Hideaki Itsuno and producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi.
On PlayStation Blog, Itsuno stated that Dragon’s Dogma is a game that he dreamed of playing as a boy “who loved TRPG-based games and action games, and I have a special attachment to it. Dragon’s Dogma II incorporates ideas that were not technically feasible at the time we created the first game. I believe this game will let you experience the fantasy world you’ve always dreamed of, a fantasy world action simulator game, and ultimately be the ultimate Dragon’s Dogma.”
Itsuno and Hirabayashi also provided a first look at several monsters during the digital event, such as a towering bronze golem known as Talos, as well as the Dullahan and Drake enemies. Dullahan is a headless specter capable of immobilizing its target before striking, while the dragon-like Drakes are capable of breathing fire and taking flight to mix things up.
The digital event also provided a first look at the returning Warrior and Sorcerer Vocations that will be available to both the Arisen and Pawns. The Warrior specializes in direct combat, and are masters of two-handed weapons, while the Sorcerer is focused on magick disciplines.
Along with the standard version of Dragon’s Dogma II, there’s also the Deluxe Edition, which includes the “New Journey Pack”. This pack includes in-game items such as a custom Camping Kit, a Wakestone, Rift Crystals, and a Dragon’s Dogma Music and Sound collection.
If that’s not enough, the Standard and Deluxe Editions each have their own pre-order bonuses. Pre-orders of the Standard Edition will feature a bonus weapon for each of the four starting vocations, while the Deluxe Edition pre-orders also include the Ring of Assurance in-game accessory.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
