The release date for Dragon’s Dogma 2 has been revealed.
Nov. 28 will feature a showcase focused on Dragon’s Dogma 2, which was expected to reveal the project’s release date. According to Sony and the game’s trailer, Dragon’s Dogma 2 will arrive on March 22, 2024. However, the date appears somewhat differently on Steam, where it’s listed as March 21, 2024. It’s not totally clear why these dates are different, but it’s likely that Steam is in error, since that date appeared online prior to the showcase, or that it’s a difference caused by time zones.

Developed and published by Capcom, the original Dragon’s Dogma released in 2012. An action role-playing hack and slash game, the original version of Dragon’s Dogma holds a 75 on Metacritic. An expanded version of the game, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen, released in 2016 and fared better critically. While the time between installments has been long, Dragon’s Dogma has proven popular, and Netflix released an anime adaptation in 2020.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 was officially announced in June 2022, with a trailer following in May 2023. In September, Capcom released a 9-minute long gameplay trailer that showed the immersive RPG in action, which is what definitely got me interested in the title, as I never actually played the original. Luckily, it’s available on a lot of platforms, and now I know when I have to beat it by, which for my ADHD-addled brain, is a very good thing to have.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 will release on in March, 2024, on PC and next-gen consoles. The game’s Steam page promises a ton of different customization options for their Arisen character and the ability to make different choices in terms of how you approach a situation. Players will be joined on their quest in Dragon’s Dogma 2 by Pawns, which Capcom advertises as feeling like other players.
