Upon its release in March,Dragon’s Dogma 2received plenty of criticismfor its microtransactions and optimization issues. Capcom has pushed out a steady stream of patches since then, both addressing technical problems and providing fresh content as well. The latest major update forDragon’s Dogma 2is no different, implementing various changes, delivering performance improvements, and even adding a new mode that lowers the acclaimed fantasy RPG’s difficulty.
A highlight of Capcom’s September 17 Title Update is the addition of a Casual Mode, which, among other things, features reduced inn fees and cheaper prices for Ferrystones, the consumable item used tofast travel inDragon’s Dogma 2. This patch also made tweaks to vocations, increased frame rates in areas with a lot of NPCs, and fixed a long list of bugs, such as the one that caused black screens to appear for players who skipped cutscenes.
The latest Title Update comes afterDragon’s Dogmaseries directorHideaki Itsuno announced his departure from Capcom. During his 30-year stint at the company, Itsuno worked on a number of other properties, most notably theDevil May Cryfranchise of hack-and-slash titles. The veteran Japanese developer revealed in a statement that he plans to continue making games, specifically those that he described as being fun, beautiful, and memorable. Itsuno’s last Capcom release,Dragon’s Dogma 2, has been praised for its gameplay, world design, and use of an emergent narrative system.
