Within that same celebratory artwork, Twitter user Alvaro has discovered what seems to be a new character, just hanging out in the background. The fantastically named Chainsaw McFacepunch also translated the note on the table, which apparently says “Sightings of griffins flying in from the northern region of Organ have been confirmed.”

Organ isn’t present in the base game, which could mean it’s a new location that players have never visited. Perhaps this new character is involved in this potential griffin crisis. Time will tell, but considering how Capcom seemingly teased Resident Evil Requiem’s announcement in a celebratory video for Resident Evil 4 Remake, anything is possible.

Whatever the case may be, it won’t involve Hideaki Itsuno, the series’ creator, who has moved on to LightSpeed Japan Studio under Tencent and is working on a new action game. Of course, it’s worth noting that Dark Arisen, the first game’s DLC, was directed by Kento Kinoshita, who went on to helm Resident Evil Village’s Shadows of Rose DLC.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is currently available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. It’s sold over four million copies as of November 2025.

According to the Platinum Titles list, it sold 3.9 million units as of September 30th, so it’s sold more than 100,000 since then. Not the most impressive total, to be sure, though Capcom’s other big release for the year, Monster Hunter Wilds, isn’t doing so hot either.

Despite extensive critical acclaim for Dragon’s Dogma 2 (we gave it a ten in our review), it was bogged down by extensive performance issues, especially on PC. Subsequent updates would improve the CPU load across all platforms and improve the frame rate, with consoles also receiving Prioritize Graphics and Performance Modes.

Unfortunately, it still has a “Mixed” rating on Steam with 61 percent of the nearly 73,000 user reviews voicing their approval. Some of the more notable criticisms target the enemy variety and story, but one user calls it, “Unfinished and abandoned. Now they’re celebrating the 4 million copies sold instead of improving/fixing the game.”

Capcom did ask users if they’d like to see DLC for the title, but there’s been radio silence ever since, even before Itsuno’s departure. Where it goes from here remains to be seen, but at least the series received a sequel, rather than languishing in history (see: Mega Man).

As of December 31, Dragon’s Dogma 2 has sold 3.5 million units worldwide across all platforms, up from 3.3 million. That means the open-world title sold an additional 200,000 units over that quarter. That isn’t blinding pace by any means, so it should be interesting to see how long its sales can maintain this momentum. Capcom has shown no signs of releasing sales-boosting DLC or updates of any sort (that we know of, at least).

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Read our review of the game through here.

Capcom has updated its Platinum Titles page, which lists sales figures for all million-plus selling games by the company, as per which, Dragon’s Dogma 2 has sold 3.3 million units worldwide as of September 30. In May, the company announced that the game had hit 3 million units sold, which means it has sold an additional 300,000 units since then.

Capcom hasn’t said anything about post-launch DLC plans for Dragon’s Dogma 2, but the open world action RPG has continued to receive patches and updates in the months since release. An update in September added a Casual Mode, while an October update added Performance and Graphics modes. Another recent patch added PS5 Pro enhancements.

The latter will render and output at 2160p, offering much sharper image quality but bringing the performance down to 30 to 40 FPS. On the Xbox Series S, both options deliver 1440p rendering resolution and 2160p output resolution. The only difference is 35 to 40 FPS on Prioritize Performance and 30 to 35 FPS with Prioritize Graphics, as baffling as it sounds.

Of course, the frame rate will vary during “high-load situations.” The last update made it so that town centers don’t tank your frames, but performance drops could occur when there’s a lot of action. Further information is required, so stay tuned.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 launched on March 22nd for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. It’s sold three million units as of May. Check out our review here.

However, these pale in comparison to the addition of Casual Mode. It’s available to switch to mid-game (though you can’t switch from Casual to Normal) and changes several gameplay aspects. Ferrystones cost less, inn fees are reduced, and Pawns will recover from Dragonsplague without a calamity, even if they’re terminal. It’s also much more difficult to reach “Heavy” or “Very Heavy” carry weight

Other notable quality-of-life changes include a Portcrystal in Bakbattahl, the ability to revive your Main Pawn at Forgotten Riftstones infinitely, and more. There are also varying idle animations for Pawns and new animations when dashing. Check out some of them below.

There’s no ETA, but it will provide further details “as soon as they are ready.” Launched in March, Dragon’s Dogma 2 received extensive acclaim for its combat, emergent gameplay, and open-world design. You can check out our review – we awarded it a ten out of ten.

However, its optimization and performance, especially on PC, have received criticism ever since. Capcom has released patches to improve performance while adding more storage options, nerfing the effects of Dragonsplague and more. It remains to be seen how things will improve with the latest patch, so stay tuned.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. It’s sold three million units since launch. Last month, director Hideaki Itsuno left the company after more than 30 years and will begin “developing a new game in a new environment” this month.

❗ Dragon’s Dogma 2 update incoming ❗

We will soon be releasing an update for all platforms that will further improve CPU load, reduce crashes and bring additional adjustments.

Further details will be announced as soon as they are ready. #DD2

Four Vocations – Fighter, Archer, Thief and Mage – are available. Since the trial’s timer starts immediately, using the free Character Creator and Storage to customize your character and Main Pawn is recommended. You can hire up to two more Pawns and venture forth, getting a taste of the combat and emergent gameplay.

For more details on Dragon’s Dogma 2, check out our review – we gave it a 10 out of 10. It’s sold three million copies since launch, and a new update is available to improve the frame rate in NPC-heavy areas. Head here to learn more about the latter.

Interestingly, that’s only a footnote in the patch, which includes several quality-of-life features to the storage. Players can now sell items and equip armor from the storage menu while the cap on items of the same type that can be stored is raised from 99 to 999.

It’s also easier to find ox carts in the field, and items like the Venator’s Leggings, Ring of Predominance and Comforting Neck Wrap are now obtainable. PS5 and Xbox Series X/S players also have the option to change graphics settings to High/Low and enable 120 Hz output. Check out the full update notes below for other improvements.

A new update for Dragon’s Dogma 2 is available now on all platforms. It includes additions and adjustments to the storage, as well as fixes to various issues.https://t.co/waEdG0ntSv

Available on March 22nd for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, the open-world action RPG takes place in a new world that’s over four times larger than the first game’s. As the Arisen, players venture through Vermund and Battahl to hunt down the dragon that stole their heart. They’ll recruit various Pawns and utilize Vocations for different abilities, like the Archer, Mystic Spearhand, and more.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 has received extensive critical acclaim since launch – check out our review, where we awarded it a 10 out of 10. However, it’s also received complaints regarding its performance, especially on PC. Capcom has promised improvements to the frame rate in future updates (the most recent nerfed Dragonsplague), so stay tuned in the coming months.

Thank you to the 3 million Arisen who have embarked on adventures in Dragon’s Dogma 2! We are grateful for your continued support.
