Dragon’s Dogma 2 Launch FAQ
12 years later and the Dragon’s Dogma sequel is finally launching. Now, the launch of such a large RPG will surely come with questions, so today we’re breaking it all down in ourDragon’s Dogma 2 launch FAQ.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 Release Time Countdown
Dragon’s Dogma 2 releases on July 14, 2025. There’s no confirmed release time just yet, so our countdown is set to midnight EST on that day. If you’ve pre-ordered it digitally, this is when your software should unlock on your console.
What is Dragon’s Dogma 2?
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a single-player open-world RPG in the truest sense of those terms. The world feels alive in a way that other open-worldRPGsrarely do. It commits to a world where NPCs and highly varied enemies go about their business and interact organically throughout the 24-hour day-night cycle. This sequel to the 12-year-old cult classic expands upon that original title’s vision in almost every way.
The Pawn system where you have AI companions is expanded and more helpful from moment to moment. you may climb on, and forcefully ride, larger enemies and even attack from that precarious perch. All while the combat is real-time, fast-paced, and above all, challenging. On top of many attacks, abilities, and spells, the game has classes called vocations.

Can You Create Your Own Character?
Yes, Dragon’s Dogma 2 allows you to fully create your own character. You also can fully create your very own main pawn that travels with you and levels with you as your primary companion. Not only that, but the character creator allows you to make up to five main characters and five main pawns for you to store.
you’re able to actually make them right now with the stand-alone character creator on Steam, which also lets you transfer said characters to Dragon’s Dogma 2 upon its release.
How Big is Dragon’s Dogma 2’s World?
The size of Dragon’s Dogma’s world has been hotly debated. Over time, players came to a consensus that Dragon’s Dogma 1’s world is roughly 1/4th to 1/2 the size of The Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Skyrim, which isn’t exactly small given Dragon’s Dogma’s verticality. Luckily,the developers statedthat Dragon’s Dogma 2’s world size is four times that of Dragon’s Dogma.
That size roughly translates to Dragon’s Dogma 2 being around twice as big as Skyrim with a whole new region compared to the first game. That’s alongside everything else likely being expanded by width and/or by height.
Is There Multiplayer and What is the Max Party Size?
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a single-player game that you can play online and offline. There won’t be any multiplayer at launch and it’s unlikely for the devs to add it in at a later date. Instead, because every player makes their own pawn, you go online through the Rift and can use other player’s pawns in your team of three pawns.
Likewise, your pawn will accompany other players on their journeys and return to you with more knowledge of the game, quests, and environment, like some kind of asynchronous leveling and knowledge system. Playing offline is a bit more limited, mainly because you’re able to’t access other players’ pawns and yours can’t learn about the game through other players’ journeys.
Is There Fast Travel?
There is fast travel in Dragon’s Dogma 2. However, it is rather limited to a rare currency. The only other option you will have is to ride in an NPC’s cart as it travels between big locations—and rather slowly at that. Additionally, cart riding (as I’m dubbing it) is also subject to monster encounters, which will be a regular occurrence given the always-active monster population of Dragon’s Dogma 2’s world.
What are Dragon’s Dogma 2’s Vocations (Classes)?
Dragon’s Dogma 2 features ten varied and distinct vocations. There are four base vocations that are a bit more basic and broad in nature:
Then, there are the more advanced vocational classes. These vocations offer much more unique play styles with some of the most creative class designs I’ve ever seen in an RPG. They are as follows:
