Ahead of launching Dragon's Dogma 2 later this month, Capcom have released its character creator for free as a separate standalone doodad. You can create your character and your main Pawn (NPC sidekick) and save them to use in the full game. Or, if you're like me and cannot resist playing for hours in a character creator, you can enjoy fiddling with its many sliders and marvelling at the breadth of options like 334 different colours for its four eye colour settings and the ability to remove individual teeth. I made my kitten as my pal, because I guess that's what I do now.
Update: The Character Creator appears to be live on all platforms.
During the Capcom Highlights Day 1, Capcom revealed that the Character Creator for Dragon's Dogma 2 is available now. Players interested in getting started creating their character as well as their Main Pawn can do so and then transfer the data to the full game when it releases in a couple of weeks.
Up to five Arisen & Pawns
Instead of spending hours on release day figuring out exactly what Race and Class you want to make your character and Main Pawn, you can do so now and jump right into Dragon's Dogma 2 when it releases on March 22. According to Capcom the data can be saved and then easily transferred to the full game on release.
The Dragon's Dogma 2 Character Creator & Storage tool can be downloaded for free on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Players can create five designs for their Arisen and Main Pawn and then instantly transfer them to the same platform on release day.
Also shown during Day 1 of Capcom Highlights were new official Capcom support Pawns that will be in Dragon's Dogma 2. Created by renowned content creators, players will be able to invite these official Pawns into their party directly through the Pawn Network.
We also got a brief look at how relationships with other characters will work in Dragon's Dogma 2. Decisions you make will impact other character interactions, and unlock creative solutions to avoiding altercations. The example provided showed that you can use exquisite counterfeit items in place of the real thing when turning in quest items. Each decision affects a complex web of relationships between over 1,000 characters throughout the game world, each with their own objectives and motive.
Dragon's Dogma 2 releases on March 22 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
