Dragon’s Dogma 2 patch adds casual mode, more animations and fast travel points

Capcom has released an update for Dragon’s Dogma 2 which adds a casual mode, more animations and dozens of gameplay tweaks and bug fixes.

The update, which is rolling out today, also targets issues around CPU overload on PC, which could occur in certain situations.

The game’s new casual mode makes several changes to Dragon’s Dogma difficulty. This includes:

Capcom notes that while players can change their difficulty to casual mode mid-playthrough, it’s not possible to change it back. Some trophies and achievements will also be blocked by this mode.

The full patch notes can be found on the Dragon’s Dogma 2 Steam page.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 was released earlier this year.  VGC’s review called it “the most vital action RPG since Elden Ring.”

“Dragon’s Dogma 2 is one of the best RPGs of the last decade,” we wrote. “Capcom’s incredible run has reached unfathomable heights with a game that’s destined to be beloved by players and revered by developers in turn.

“It’s a game that refuses to hold your hand, but will give you all the tools to experience an adventure that’s one for the ages.”

Dragon’s Dogma 2 director Hideaki Itsunoleft Capcom last month, after more than 30 years with the company.
