While not reaching the heights of genre pillars, there's heart poured into crafting a nostalgic yet fresh experience
During the Capcom Highlights video presentation, Capcom conjured new updates on a fantastical pair of action-packed titles launching this year. The show featured the reveal of the “Character Creator & Storage” tool for Dragon’s Dogma™ 2. Players can now get a head start on designing their Arisen and Main Pawn, both of which can be transferred into the full game when the action RPG makes its highly anticipated arrival on March 22, 2024.
The program also showcased an extended look at Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess™, bestowing new details on the strategic action game and its vibrant Japanese-inspired setting ahead of its 2024 release.
The full Capcom Highlights presentation is available to view on the official Capcom YouTube channels. Individual assets and trailers for each game are also available on the Capcom Press Center.
Create Your Character in Dragon’s Dogma 2 Today
Dragon’s Dogma 2 director Hideaki Itsuno and producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi joined Capcom Highlights to provide an overview of what players can expect when setting out on their own immersive fantasy adventures. In addition to your party with up to three AI companions known as Pawns, players are encouraged to indulge their curiosity and stretch their creativity when exploring the world of Dragon’s Dogma 2.
From how they resolve quests to the way they interact with characters around them, the decisions players make will not only impact their Arisen’s relationships with other characters, but they will also in turn change the interactions between characters as well. There are often creative solutions to avoid physical altercations, such as passing off an exquisite counterfeit item as the genuine article. Each decision the player makes will impact the complex web of relationships throughout a world filled with over 1000 characters, each with their own objectives and motives.
Itsuno and Hirabayashi also unveiled the “Character Creator & Storage” tool, which can now be downloaded for free on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. This allows players to create five designs for their Arisen and Main Pawn! Those designs will be instantly transferred to the full game when Dragon’s Dogma 2 releases for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam on March 22, 2024, so players immediately embark upon their journey at launch.
Finally, the duo unveiled plans to release official Capcom support Pawns created by renowned content creators that will be available for other players through the network to join their own adventure, with initial announcements during Capcom Highlights and other participating creators to be revealed in the near future.

Set on a mountain infected with defilement, players will take on the role of Soh, the protagonist tasked with rescuing villagers and purifying their villages on Mount Kafuku along with the Maiden, Yoshiro. As players journey through Mount Kafuku, they’ll be immersed in dynamic day and night cycles. By day, Soh joins forces with the villagers to prepare for an impending battle.

Harness the power of Tsuba guards, wield dance-like sword techniques, adapt to constantly changing battle conditions, and take advantage of the different villager roles in order to cleanse the mountain.
Various roles include: Woodcutters – Strong villagers who excel at close-range combat. Archers – Villagers with great accuracy and precision who fight from a distance with their bow and arrows. Ascetics – Enchanting villagers who use spells to restrain the Seethe.
Brought to life by the power of the RE ENGINE, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess will be available day one with Xbox Game Pass for console and PC, as well as Xbox Series X|S, Windows, PlayStation 5, and Steam.
