Redditor CannedBeansofDeath spotted changes made to the game’s listing on Steam via SteamDB that reference ‘free on demand. .This is believed to be a demo for the $69.99 action role-playing game, due out March 22.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 developer Capcom has form when it comes to demos, of course. It released one for its hugely popular Resident Evil 4 remake in the run up to its March 2023 launch. Thoughts now turn to the form the Dragon’s Dogma 2 demo might take, given its massive map. And it’s worth noting Capcom likes to hide secrets within its demos. Resident Evil 4 remake’s included a cheat code to unlock ‘Mad Chainsaw’ difficulty mode, so fans will no-doubt dig into the Dragon’s Dogma 2 demo for similar secrets.
Not only is Dragon’s Dogma 2 one of the more promising games of 2024 but it’s also Capcom’s first $70 game. It seems likely it won’t be its last, either, after Capcom said it’s now considering a video game price review amid rising development costs.
