After last week, it looks like Dragon's Dogma 2 is getting ready to receive a DLC.

As reported by users on reddit, the Dragon's Dogma 2 application on Steam received numerous encrypted updates that can be consulted via SteamDB. The wording accompanying these updates shows the word “DLC” in several cases, apparently a clear sign that Capcom is working on new content for its action RPG.

Currently, the company has not announced anything official about this, nor has Itsuno, in his farewell message, made any mention of the arrival of DLC for the game. But we know how Capcom has already proposed a substantial post-launch expansion with the first chapter of the series, and it's by no means excluded that this could be repeated. Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen was one of the most highly regarded pieces of content in the game, acclaimed by players looking for a new mysterious setting to explore, even more attractive and challenging, and new specializations to further improve their Arisen.

Hope so! Game sure could use more content.

It's hard to imagine the franchise going forward without Hideaki Itsuno, from what I understand he envisioned the game as early as the mid 2000s, we're talking a Kojima-Metal Gear type of thing here, but we'll see, to be fair Capcom has been releasing banger after banger recently so I'll trust them for now, maybe he even managed to work on the DLC before leaving Capcom.

well, my main issue with dragon's dogma 2 is that the franchise didn't go forward. it basically just reiterated itself, &, in some ways, not nearly as well as it'd done originally...

Hope they add new vocations or give Sorcerer it's Dark Magic back. Either way if they do announce DLC I hope they add endgame on par or better then BBI and keep players engaged on wanting to stay playing the game.

And give us some dungeons that aren't just more caves.

semiconscious It very much rewrites itself. This ties into the lore of DD2. Digging deep you have something very interesting but it is not explored a whole lot and that is where DD2 failed to deliver.

Honestly the game drew me in but didn’t stick the landing. I hadn’t played the original, but honestly eventually the lightness of content is just exhausting. Same 3 fucking reskinned world bosses..

I'd rather have a performance patch.

why would i want to spend time 'digging deep' into a game that's fundamentally one long, never-ending episode of deju vu? i can see wanting to bail (which I did after 30+ hours), but wanting to 'dig deep'? there's just gotta be some incentive there (i loved/replayed the original game, btw)...

And still run like ass.

To each their own. I like the lore in both games. But I spent 100+ hours in both games so...

Player engagement is definitely much better in DD1.

 

[Punished Miku]

Good. Held off buying until now for this reason.
