Summary
Dragon’s Dogma 2could be making an important announcement during Summer Game Fest 2024, as it featured prominently in the event trailer posted by Geoff Keighley on Twitter. WhileDragon’s Dogma 2is one of the highlights of 2024, especially for fans of the original, Capcom’s latest release hasn’t been without its flaws. The combat inDragon’s Dogma 2received plenty of praise at launch, but the story and enemy variety felt like a step back from the first game.
However, many fans would agree thatDragon’s Dogma 2has plenty of room for growth. Its overworld is sorely missing a snow biome, which would be the perfect opportunity for Capcom to round out the enemy variety inDragon’s Dogma 2while also expanding on its itemization. Recent rumors seem to point in that direction, and withCapcom’s desire to invest heavily inDragon’s Dogmaas a franchise, an expansion announcement feels imminent.
Summer Game Fest 2024will take place on Jun 28, 2025, and there’s a very good chance that Capcom will present an early teaser for aDragon’s Dogma 2expansion pack during the opening day presentation. If Capcom’s previous titles are anything to go by, fans could expect the DLC to be released by the end of the year, or early 2025. This makes Summer Game Fest 2024 the perfect platform for Capcom to generate excitement forDragon’s Dogma 2, and Geoff Keighley seems to agree. The Summer Game Fest trailer featuresDragon’s Dogma 2several times, which only further lends credence to the DLC rumors.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 Could Be at Summer Game Fest
It should be important to note that a majority of the leaks regardingDragon’s Dogma 2have been debunked. That being said, an expansion pack would be an ideal way for Capcom toadd new vocations toDragon’s Dogma 2, as it has already established a robust and versatile framework in the base game. In fact, the modding community has already toyed around with the idea of making custom vocations, which certainly bodes well forDragon’s Dogma 2fans.
Much like Dark Arisen, it should be expected forDragon’s Dogma 2to add a new location and major storyline in the expansion, and it could even be used as a way for Capcom to address criticism of the lackluster main quest inDragon’s Dogma 2. Another way that an expansion could improve uponDragon’s Dogma 2would be to expand its endgame beyond the Unmoored World and New Game Plus, and offer players a worthwhile reason to stick around after the conclusion of the story. Though it remains to be seen if Capcom will truly announce anexpansion pack forDragon’s Dogma 2on June 7, it’s certainly a date to be mindful of.
