Dragon’s Dogma fans have been anxiously awaiting a demo for the sequel, and while today’s Capcom Highlights stream didn’t announce a gameplay demo, it did reveal that the character creator and storage will be available today.
If you take advantage of the pre-release character creator, you’ll be able to transfer your character to the full game when it releases on March 22. Dragon’s Dogma II features a pretty in-depth character creator, so it’s a good opportunity to get a heads-start on your own Arisen and main Pawn ahead of the official release.
Prepare for your grand adventure!
Get ready for launch on March 22 by downloading Dragon’s Dogma 2 Character Creator ＆ Storage to create your Arisen and main Pawn.

The character creator was a specific point of interest for the developers, as Dragon’s Dogma 2 director Hideaki Itsuno told us as part of our IGN First in January. The original Dragon’s Dogma also had a pretty detailed character creator, but the team wanted to give players as much freedom as possible with the benefits of better hardware performance this time around. For example, there are 12 sliders just for a human’s nose alone.
“You could have your ideal character in mind, but you’d basically need to be an artist to form that character with your own hands, so that’s where we had to begin when deciding how character creation would work,” Itsuno told us at the time.
Dragon’s Dogma II is no doubt one of the most anticipated games of the month, and it’s also Capcom’s first $70 game. For more, check out our final impressions and 11 minutes of gameplay.
Dragon’s Dogma II will be available on PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S.
