Dragon 39;s Dogma Dark Arisen Multiplayer
Charise Farag
We think this speculation with regards to multiplayer originated well before Dragon's Dogma 2 was announced. It's no secret that the first Dragon's Dogma flirted with the idea of co-op, but actually settled on its now trademark pawn system. Pawns are essentially AI-driven companions who play a major role in the series' story and lore. They're basically not-quite-humans who assist the Arisen (the player character) without question.
But no, we fully expect Dragon's Dogma 2 to expand on the aforementioned pawn system, with more intricate AI and party-based gameplay. The potential introduction of multiplayer doesn't make a whole lot of sense if Capcom's doubling down on one of the property's most defining features.
That's hopefully cleared up, then. But would you have liked to see co-op be an option in Dragon's Dogma 2? Or should it stick with being a strictly single-player adventure? Seek your heart in the comments section below.
It is fine mainline Dragon's Dogma is single player. But not bringing Dragon's Dogma Online to the west was one of the dumbest things Capcom has done. I don't know why they haven't but they could have.
Cool.dragon dogma doesn't need it.the pawn system made it so you can have companion in the single player campaign.dragon dogma 2 is going to be amazing.just as dragon dogma dark arisen is one of the best video games ever made.word up son
Bummer. It would have been a nice option, but clearly they can still make a solid single player game. I just hope they either add mounts or a streamlined fast travel system. Legging it everywhere gets old.
Why is nearly every developer getting asked about co op and online modes lately, and people wonder why Sony are going all out in live service, the demand to play online with/against a friend or strangers is sky high.
Either make DDON2 and make it global, or give us the option to play as our own pawn in someone else's game via a Rift Summons, while keeping the existing pawn system as it is for the single player experience... that would make DD2 perfect! Either way I'm sure Itsuno will address the multiplayer question once the DD2 media starts to gain more momentum ahead of release... ?
Keep in mind the game is still realistically 1 to 2 years out. Unless you have a quote or we end up getting told by the big man that there are no plans to change the formula.. existing information on a website doesn't mean much and it potentially could be changed in development.
@Talisman85 I did not mean that multiplayer would be a bad thing; instead, I just said that the original system is good enough for me. Besides, the decision to not include multiplayer is from Capcom and there is nothing to do about it. This game will be great anyway.
