I come to you bearing dangerous (however in all probability anticipated) information. Spoilers for Capcom’s excessive fantasy RPG Dragon’s Dogma 2 have leaked forward of its March 22 launch, with some gamers streaming four-to-six hours of uncooked, uncut gameplay over the March 15 weekend. As is customary with these kinds of issues, watch out on-line.
In line with Eurogamer and IGN, the leaks appear to have come from gamers having early copies of the sport, although nobody is aware of precisely how this occurred. My guess, nevertheless, is both shops broke its March 22 road date (which occurred to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom two weeks earlier than its Could 12, 2023 launch) or people modified their console’s time zone to get in early, like folks did with some Mortal Kombat 1 skins again in November 2023. Both approach, the spoilers are on the market now and so they run the gamut of all the pieces in-game. I’m not going to enter specific element—you’ll be able to simply discover it if you need—however I’ve seen the map dimension, courses Capcom hasn’t but revealed, bosses, dungeons, end-game content material, and rather more. There are plenty of leaks floating round. It wouldn’t be a foul concept to mute the phrase “Dragon’s Dogma 2” and any related key phrases whereas scrolling on-line.
Capcom seems to be on the case, nuking posts and streams that include Dragon’s Dogma 2 spoilers. That is the web, although, so their efforts may show moot, particularly when, in keeping with one streamer I watched play the sport early, folks apparently have a number of Twitch accounts devoted to leaking video games. “Video games I’ve leaked to date that I performed early? Like, I may give y’all an inventory,” the streamer mentioned. “I performed Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora early. I performed fucking Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden early. I performed Last Fantasy VII Rebirth early. And now this. There’s a few issues I’ve streamed early as a result of I really feel like folks ought to see it.”
Kotaku has reached out to Capcom for remark.
Leaks and spoilers apart, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is shaping as much as be 2024’s breakout RPG. Between the hyper-realistic meat, Star Wars-esque Mystic Spearhand class, and bonkers character creator, Capcom is bringing the warmth with this sequel. I could have my fingers full with Rise of the Ronin proper now, however as quickly as I end that, I’m shifting on to Dragon’s Dogma 2. I can’t look ahead to it to dominate my life.
