Dragon’s Dogma 2 may be the perfect game for furries
Capcom’s upcoming fantasy RPG Dragon’s Dogma 2 may inadvertently be the ideal game for furry and anthro lovers, thanks to the addition of the playable Beastren race and a detailed character creation system. The highly anticipated title is scheduled to launch on March 22 for the PC (Steam), PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is the sequel to Capcom’s 2012 cult-classic action RPG Dragon’s Dogma. The second installment will expand upon the original title’s worldbuilding and mechanics, and its story is set in two countries – Vermund, the kingdom of humans, and Battahl, the nation of Beastren.
The Beastren are a race of humanoid beings with feline features. Covered in fur from head to toe, their facial features resemble those of lions or leopards, while their physique seems to be mostly identical to that of humans – save for their sharp claws. The Beastren are described as a resilient race with strong and flexible bodies that make them great warriors. Similarly to humans, they build nations and live civilized lives.
So far, the developers of Dragon’s Dogma 2 have confirmed that players will be able to choose the Beastren race for their Arisen (playable character) as well as their main Pawn. This also means that players will be able to build their ideal cat-people using the game’s detailed character creation system. Character creation in Dragon’s Dogma 2 will allow you to customize the color and pattern of your Beastren character’s fur, as well as their claws, fangs and other individual parts of their body. Facial fur patterns can be designed independently from the rest of the body, allowing you to adjust minute details.
As an aside, you will be able to feel certain differences in attitude towards your character depending on whether you’re playing as a Beastren or a human, as people’s perceptions of Beastren vary depending on the country.
According to the developers of Dragon’s Dogma 2, Beastren already existed as a concept when they were working on the first title. The developers wanted to include them at the time, but couldn’t due to the technical difficulties of rendering numerous fur-covered characters at once (Related article). Considering this background, we can expect this aspect of the game to be thoroughly fleshed out.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is scheduled to release on March 22 for the PC (Steam), PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

“Ideal” for the furries with bad taste, perhaps. There’s nothing more jarring than a catlike head on a human body. Same goes for any other type of animal-humanoid.
An ideal would be something closer towards Worgen from WoW where the physiology aligns more with the animal they represent. Of course I understand they may have done this the way it is because of possible armor limitations or just the amount of extra work needed to reshape every armor piece based off body type and whatnot but to say this is “ideal” for furries is nothing more or less than false.
P.S: I understand this is mostly my opinion but I’ve met many and more other furries that think this way. There will always be exceptions to the rule.
