Dragon’s Dogma 2 is only days away from launch, and it’s safe to say hype for Capcom’s major RPG is building rapidly. With the original Dragon’s Dogma releasing almost twelve years ago (and Dark Arisen on console coming only a year later), it’s been a long wait for fans wanting to take on the mantle of the Arisen once more.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is set to release on March 22, 2024, for PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S. However, if you’re clawing at the bars of your cage to get your mitts on it as soon as it goes live, you might be wondering exactly what time that is in your neck of the woods.
Capcom confirmed the Dragon’s Dogma 2 release time officially overnight, which is in line with console store listings and general release practice for the developer’s games. Console players will have differing launch times from PC players, which we’ll go into below. Pre-loading is already available on some consoles with a surprisingly small 69.95GB base file size for Xbox, and similar for PlayStation.
With all of this in mind, here’s when you can get stuck into the kingdoms of Vermund and Battahl come launch day in Australia and New Zealand.
