Dragon’s Dogma 2 is the latest fantasy RPG to hit the market, and some players might be wondering how much of its world can be explored without limitations. On that note, here’s whether Dragon’s Dogma 2 is an open-world title.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 revives the beloved fantasy RPG series from Capcom with a sequel that remains faithful to the original while retaining all of its signature features. This includes gameplay mechanics like Pawns, Vocations, Monsters, and more.

One of the highlights of the first title was its vast and dynamic open world. It was packed with challenging battles at every corner and populated with dungeons hiding nifty rewards. Naturally, some players might be wondering if the sequel delivers a similar open-world experience.

So, here’s whether Dragon’s Dogma 2 is an open-world game.

Does Dragon’s Dogma 2 have an open-world?

Yes, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is an open-world title, set in the same region of Gransys, just like the previous installment. While the game is based in the same region, its events take place in a parallel world to the 2012 title.

In the Capcom Showcase, the devs mentioned that the world of Dragon’s Dogma 2 is four times larger than that of the first title. In terms of geography, the map features lush green forests, and kingdoms teeming with civilians like Vermund. There is also an arid desert nation named Battahl, which players can explore freely.

Locations in the world even play a factor during combat, especially with Vocations like the Trickster who use the environment to their advantage against enemies. Since you’ll primarily traverse the world on foot, the devs have made sure to pack in plenty of random interactions to drag your attention away and make every encounter feel engaging.
