Sharp-eyedDragon’s Dogma 2fans have noticed something pertaining to the action role-playing game in the latest SteamDB update.
Spotted byPCGamesN, the update was sharedover on theDragon’s Dogmasubreddit, which showed screenshots of the SteamDB changelist for theupcoming game. The first of two screenshots notes thatDragon’s Dogma 2’slisting has been updated with an ‘unknown app.’
The second shot reveals that said app will be ‘free on demand,’ a billing type that is typically applied to demo listings, being that they’re free to download for allSteamusers at any time; even after a game has launched in most cases.
Developer Capcom has yet to announce a demo forDragon’s Dogma 2in any official capacity. But with the game launching just over a month from now, on March 22, there’s every chance an announcement could be made soon. And if a demo is coming, it’ll most likely be available onPlayStation 5andXbox Series X|S alongside Steam.
ADragon’s Dogma 2demo would be no strange thing, either. Most major Capcom titles, includingMonster Hunter RiseandResident Evil 4,receive demos shortly before their release; multiple in some cases. As such, it wouldn’t be much of a surprise to see that strategy continue forDragon’s Dogma 2.
If a demo forDragon’s Dogma 2is indeed on the way, it’ll need to be a pretty substantial one in order for players to really get a feel for its open world. A quick thirty minutes or so probably won’t be enough to set a proper impression. Hopefully, then, any potential demo will offer a generous slice of questing and exploring to get new players hooked on what could be one of thebest RPGsof the year.
