Chapter 1: Overview of Update 1.050
Fans of Dragon's Dogma 2 can now immerse themselves in the magical world once more, thanks to the release of the latest title update, version 1.050!
This update is now available on Steam and PlayStation 5, offering exciting new features and essential fixes. However, Xbox Series X and S users will need to remain patient as they wait for its rollout.
One of the most eagerly awaited aspects of this update is the new "Start New Game" feature. This option enables players to start new adventures even with existing save files, addressing a common request from the community that was missed at launch.
Section 1.1: Character Customization Enhancements
Capcom has listened to players' desires for enhanced character customization by increasing the availability of "Art of Metamorphosis" items at Pawn Guilds to an impressive 99. These items, which are essential for personalizing character appearances, are part of Capcom's initial microtransaction offerings aimed at enhancing gameplay.
Subsection 1.1.1: Graphics and Performance Upgrades
Console gamers will particularly appreciate the new graphics and performance options added in this update. Features such as toggles for motion blur and ray tracing, along with the ability to switch between variable frame rates and a cap of 30fps, provide players with more control over their gaming experience. This update comes in response to prior concerns regarding performance, especially on PC, where many players faced frame rate challenges due to high NPC counts.
Section 1.2: Player Engagement and Resources
Despite earlier controversies regarding microtransactions and performance issues, Dragon's Dogma 2 has emerged as Capcom's most successful single-player game launch on Steam, reaching an impressive peak concurrent player count of 228,585.
For those setting out on their adventures, resources such as IGN's interactive map, walkthrough hub, and Pawn guides are available to aid in your journey.
