On 29 March, Capcom released an update for the PS5 and PC (Steam) versions of Dragon’s Dogma 2<\/strong>. It will be available for Xbox Series X|S players to download next week. Among various improvements, update 1.050 makes it possible to start a new game even if you have existing save data, and raises the number of Art of Metamorphosis items for sale at Pawn Guilds (bought with in-game currency) from two to 99. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the original game that was first released back in 2012. Players journey through the high fantasy world as an Arisen, a character who has had their heart stolen by a dragon that they must defeat. You can take NPC characters called Pawns along with you to help on quests. Players can customize both their Arisen and one Pawn character, choosing their race, gender and appearance (and in this game, your main character\u2019s physique matters<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game\u2019s first post-launch update was released today for PS5 and PC and will be available for the Xbox Series X|S next week. Firstly, it addresses two big player complaints. Players can now choose to start the game from the beginning. Previously, it wasn\u2019t possible to start a new game without deleting your save data. In addition, the maximum number of the Art of Metamorphosis item that can be bought with in-game currency from the Pawn Guilds has been changed to 99. Art of Metamorphosis is an item you can use to change the appearance of your Arisen and Main Pawn at a barbershop. Previously, you could only buy a maximum of 2, so the amount has been significantly increased, perhaps due to microtransaction complaints.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The update also makes the quest where the player obtains their own dwelling (where they can save and rest) available earlier in the game. In addition, some text display issues and other minor bugs have been fixed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graphical options have also been added. On PS5, you now have the option to toggle motion blur and ray tracing. It is also possible to set the frame rate to a maximum of 30fps. However, the patch notes mention that these options do not significantly improve the frame rate, and that there will be more substantial frame rate fixes in future patches.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Steam players, the graphics quality can now be improved by enabling DLSS SUPER RESOLUTION. They have also fixed an issue with character models\u2019 display under certain settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been a week since Dragon’s Dogma 2\u2019s release, and this initial patch has immediately addressed some of the main criticisms made by players. Hopefully, future updates will continue to reflect player feedback and resolve outstanding issues. At the time of writing, Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 has a \u201cMixed\u201d review status on Steam, with only 55% of the 44,000 user reviews being positive. It will be interesting to see how these ratings change in response to future adjustments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 is available for PS5, PC (Steam<\/a>), and Xbox Series X|S<\/a>.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n
