With Dragon’s Dogma 2, we will soon have the sequel to a popular role-playing game for Steam and PS5. The developers are already showing the complex character editor in a video.
Which role-playing game is it about? Dragon’s Dogma 2 is an upcoming game by the developer Capcom. It is the sequel to the first part released in 2012. Again, we play as a self-created character from a third-person perspective. The combat system is direct and action-packed. A special feature of the game is climbing the massive bosses during battles.
The game will be released in March. In a video by IGN, the developers around Game Director Hideaki Itsuno introduced the game’s character editor.
While the editor of the first part already allowed detailed settings, Capcom takes it a step further in Dragon’s Dogma 2. Especially the better hardware of current PCs and consoles enables a complex editor with countless customization options.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 will be more expensive than previous Capcom games. Read here what this is about.
The editor leaves plenty of room for creativity
What can you do in the editor? According to the developers and the shown video material from character creation, you can really let your imagination run wild in the editor.
The game’s Game Director emphasizes that it has been a challenge to design the editor in detail while keeping the operation simple at the same time. It must be possible to implement one’s own ideas without being an artist.
If creating a custom character is not important to you, you can also save the work. For such players, Dragon’s Dogma 2 offers a simplified way of character creation.
There are two body types per race, and for each body type, there are nine pre-made bodies. Additionally, there are many finished heads from which you can choose one. If you still want to change minor details, that can also be done easily.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 also introduces a new playable race. The so-called “Beastren” are furry beings that resemble the feline Khajiit from The Elder Scrolls.
Twitch streamer Asmongold overwhelmed by the editor
What does Asmongold think of the editor? In a video, the streamer reacted to IGN’s report. He noted that he always just recreates himself in role-playing games like Dragon’s Dogma. Therefore, most of his characters are human, male, white, have long hair, and fight as knights.

In response to the countless customization options of the character editor in Dragon’s Dogma 2, the streamer reacted cautiously. Given the 40 different muscle types discussed in the video, Asmongold remarked, “I’ll steer clear of that.”
