A new Dragon's Dogma 2 patch is now live on PC and consoles, introducing NVIDIA DLSS 3 Frame Generation support, and several gameplay tweaks and fixes.
The May 31st patch finally brings DLSS 3 Frame Generation support for improved performance on NVIDIA RTX 4000 series graphics cards. The game received unofficial support with a mod shortly after release, but the official implementation should be better, addressing some of the issues seen in the modded implementation, including stability issues.
The new Dragon's Dogma 2 patch also fixes a visual issue that prevented terrain from being displayed correctly on certain graphics cards, increases item storage space from 1000 to 3000, and fixes some other issues regarding Pawns' cosmetics and dialogues. The full patch notes can be found here.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is definitely a step forward from its predecessor when it comes to world design and visuals, but it leaves something to be desired regarding a lot of other elements, such as narrative, AI, and performance. Still, it is most definitely a game worth playing for all fans of the series, as highlighted by Alessio in his review.
This review may read quite negatively, but it's only because of the lofty expectations that surrounded Dragon's Dogma 2. The original game was an amazing foundation to build upon, and yet CAPCOM seemed content with keeping the same strengths without improving much on the weaknesses. Twelve years later, though, the effect cannot be the same. Still, make no mistake: Dragon's Dogma 2 is a highly enjoyable fantasy action/adventure with RPG elements that will provide you with about 40 hours of pure fun. Its peerless sense of exploration, meaty combat system, and stunning visuals will motivate you throughout the entire playthrough. Just don't expect to find a fantasy world simulator or, indeed, a narrative worth remembering.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is now out on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
