00:13 Hello, everyone.
00:39 I'm Hideaki Itsuno, the director of Dragon's Dogma 2.
00:43 Dragon's Dogma 2 is a narrative-driven action
00:45 RPG set in an immersive fantasy world designed
00:48 to place player choice at the heart of the gameplay
00:51 experience.
00:52 The action gameplay is designed to challenge your creativity.
00:55 And although this is a single-player adventure,
00:58 AI-controlled companions will accompany you
01:00 throughout the experience.
01:03 Today, I'd like to show you a little
01:04 of what you can expect from the world of Dragon's Dogma 2
01:07 with this new gameplay footage.
01:09 In Dragon's Dogma 2, up to three AI-controlled beings
01:16 called pawns can join you on your adventures.
01:18 Players can choose from four starting vocations
01:23 that determine how they will play.
01:25 Of course, you will be able to change your vocation
01:30 at any time by visiting vocation guilds.
01:34 For now, let's look at the fighter vocation.
01:37 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:40 Wielding a one-handed sword and shield,
01:42 the fighter excels in melee combat.
01:47 As a fighter, you can cut down enemies with a sword
01:49 and protect yourself and your party using your shield.
01:52 As we keep going, we can see some harpies in the distance.
02:02 As an archer, you'll be better suited
02:04 to take down enemies above you.
02:07 Let's see what they can do.
02:08 The archer is a vocation that uses a bow and arrow
02:14 to attack enemies from a distance.
02:18 Make full use of your arsenal, including
02:20 exploding or blighting arrows.
02:23 You can also aim at your enemies like a third-person shooter.
02:26 The monsters of Dragon's Dogma 2 behave organically
02:33 in the world around them and will even
02:35 react to players by using their wits against you.
02:38 Next, I would like to show you the mage in action.
02:47 Mages excel at long-range magical attacks, as well as
02:51 healing and support spells that boast to your party
02:53 with various enchantments to give allies
02:56 an advantage in battle.
02:59 The more advanced and powerful the magic is,
03:01 the longer the incantation will take.
03:03 In addition to the pawns you adventure with,
03:12 you will occasionally act with other inhabitants of the world.
03:17 What's this?
03:19 We're trapped.
03:19 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:35 Lastly, let's take a look at the thief.
03:39 As a thief, use daggers to strike at your enemies,
03:42 relying on agility and quick attacks.
03:46 Use swift step to quickly move away from enemies
03:49 after an attack.
03:51 The key strategy for the thief against massive monsters
03:54 is to find openings and cling onto the enemy to deal damage.
04:00 Fighting head-on is always an option,
04:03 but it's a good idea to utilize the environment around you
04:06 while engaging with enemies.
04:09 Between your chosen vocation, diverse terrains,
04:12 and the particular monster you're up against,
04:15 each encounter challenges players and their party
04:18 to use their creativity to succeed.
04:20 Two nations prosper in the world of Dragons Dogma 2--
04:28 Vermond, the human kingdom, and Batal, the land of Bistron.
04:34 In Vermond, the Arisen who slay the dragon
04:37 have ruled as kings for generations.
04:40 This land of lush meadows and rolling hills
04:42 is ripe for exploration.
04:44 In contrast, Batal is a rugged canyon nation
04:52 with a city built on the site of ancient ruins.
04:56 It is home to the Bistron and their unique culture.
05:00 The nation of Batal offers players a different experience
05:04 from the human kingdom, with diverse environments
05:06 to explore and monsters to encounter.
05:09 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:13 In your adventures, you might come across people
05:16 who call out to you.
05:17 Have you some business with the apothecary, sir?
05:20 Other times, you might receive quests
05:22 from people who you aid.
05:23 Thank heavens.
05:28 Thought I'd never make it.
05:30 If I might be so bold as to impose upon you again,
05:33 would you be willing to accompany me to the cemetery
05:36 and safeguard me from harm?
05:38 Pawns with knowledge of a quest may
05:40 be able to guide you to the right location,
05:42 but it is up to the player to decide
05:44 whether to follow them or not.
05:48 Pawns support you throughout your adventures
05:50 and may come to your aid when you are in trouble.
05:53 To complete your quest, you can ride ox carts
06:00 to travel to major locations.
06:05 But be aware, as you might get attacked en route
06:08 to your destination and have to decide
06:11 how to tackle the situation.
06:12 During the ride, you can choose to close your eyes to quickly
06:18 arrive at your destination.
06:19 Time is ever-passing, even while riding an ox cart,
06:26 and the environment around the player constantly changes.
06:31 Nighttime is especially dangerous.
06:33 With no light to eliminate your surroundings,
06:36 you will be enveloped in pitch-black darkness
06:38 where you can't even see your feet.
06:42 Also, there are dangerous monsters
06:43 that only appear at night, so you
06:45 need to be careful when adventuring in the dark.
06:48 If you have a camping kit, you can find a campsite
06:56 to spend the night and recover your health.
07:02 Good evening, Arisen.
07:03 'Tis the honor of my life to share your journey, Arisen.
07:10 To wrap up, I'd like to introduce
07:13 some advanced vocations that become available
07:15 as you progress in the story.
07:18 The Mystic Spearhand combines magic attacks
07:21 and weapon-based physical attacks.
07:25 A good all-rounder, they use their duo spear
07:27 at close range and magic at long range.
07:31 They can also use magic to block an enemy's movement
07:34 or throw multiple items at once.
07:35 The Magic Archer is a vocation that further specializes
07:41 in long-range attacks with magical arrows.
07:45 On top of healing and providing support to your allies,
07:48 they can learn a skill that releases a powerful attack
07:50 over a wide area in exchange for reducing their own maximum HP.
07:55 And of course, there are other unique vocations
07:58 you can look forward to.
08:00 We have a playable version of Dragon's Dogma 2
08:03 at the Tokyo Game Show Capcom booth.
08:06 Depending on the choices they make,
08:07 each player can experience very different playthroughs.
08:11 We're very much looking forward to the impressions
08:13 of those who get a chance to play.
08:16 Dragon's Dogma 2 is being developed for PlayStation 5,
08:20 Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Steam.
08:25 Please stay tuned for more information.
08:28 Thank you.
08:29 Thank you.
