Capcom has released a new update for its open-world fantasy game Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2<\/a> that nerfs the dragonsplague, among other things.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Dragon\u2019s Dogma\u2019s pesky dragonsplague illness<\/u><\/a> turns pawns murderous but only exhibited a few subtle symptoms up to now (modders had already made things really obvious for PC players by sticking a big number on the follower’s forehead<\/u><\/a>).<\/p>\n

The title update, out now across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, reduces the infection frequency of dragonsplague and adjusts the signs of pawns infected with dragonsplague to be more noticeable. For example, when infected, glowing eyes will be more noticeable, Capcom said in the patch notes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, there are adjustments to pawn behavior and dialogue, including a reduction in the frequency of some pawn dialogue lines. However, this patch does not make any performance improvements to the game. Following the release of Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 in March, players experienced inconsistent framerate performance, particularly on PC. Whereas games like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth gives players a Performance or Graphics mode option<\/u><\/a> \u2014 prioritizing either a consistent framerate or increased graphical output \u2014 Dragon’s Dogma 2 only has one visual mode across all consoles.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 arrived more than a decade after its predecessor and proved a monster hit for publisher Capcom<\/u><\/a> despite controversy<\/u><\/a>, selling 2.5 million units in 11 days amid microtransaction<\/u><\/a> and the performance complaints<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In our 8\/10 review<\/u><\/a>, IGN said: “More of a redo than a sequel, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a strange and wonderful action-RPG that bolsters the original\u2019s strengths without addressing its weaknesses.”<\/p>\n
