Summary
The first few months of 2024 were packed with time-consuming games such asFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth,Persona 3 Reload, andLike A Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Most of us have likely let some big games pass us by in favor of others already this year, but with the usual summer break - other than the odd release - now in full effect, there’s never been a better time to look back and catch up. Especially since you can takeDragon’s Dogma 2for a spin for free for a limited time.
Capcom confirmed over the weekendthat a Dragon’s Dogma 2 free trial would be going live onPS5,Xbox Series X|S, andSteam(thanks,VGC). That trial is now available to download and start on all three platforms, letting you experience two hours of Dragon’s Dogma 2 without spending a single penny. To verify you don’t waste a second of that free time with the RPG, Capcom recommends usingits free Dragon’s Dogma 2 character creatorbefore you get started. That character can then be imported into the game so you can get started right away.
It’s also recommended that you take a look at the four vocations you’ll have to choose from for your Arisen and Main Pawn so, again, you can get going right away and not stop to think while the clock is ticking. Any progress you make during your two hours with the game will also be carried over to the full version should you decide to continue. Best of all for those who do love it enough after two hours, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is on sale across all three platforms.
Dragon’s Dogma 2
WHERE TO PLAY
Dragon’s Dogma is the long-anticipated sequel to Capcom’s action RPG. Once again taking on the role of the Arisen, the game promises full customisation in how you create your character and play through your story.
The price has been dropped by 20 percent until July 18 which is also when the free trial will come to an end. Two hours might not sound like much - and considering how long you’ll spend with Dragon’s Dogma 2 if you like it, it’s not - but it’s better than rolling the dice on a $70 game without being able to try it at all. This trial will at least give you a feel for the game, and if you do like it enough to want to keep going, you’ll now be dropping $55 on a game you at least know a little than $70 on one you don’t know at all.
Not only does the usual summer drought on the game release calendar mean you can catch up on stuff you’ve missed, but the gap is usually plugged with sales so you can get those missed games for less.Steam’s Summer Sale is liveand runs until July 11 and among the 2024 releases included in it for less areManor Lords,Balatro, andPalworld.
