Highlights
- Dragon’s Dogma 2 may get an expansion announcement at Summer Game Fest 2024, generating excitement for fans.
- Despite flaws, such as story and enemy variety, many agree that Dragon’s Dogma 2 has room for growth.
- An expansion pack could address criticisms and add new content, potentially adding new vocations and improving endgame.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 could be making an important announcement during Summer Game Fest 2024, as it featured prominently in the event trailer posted by Geoff Keighley on Twitter. While Dragon’s Dogma 2 is one of the highlights of 2024, especially for fans of the original, Capcom’s latest release hasn’t been without its flaws. The combat in Dragon’s Dogma 2 received plenty of praise at launch, but the story and enemy variety felt like a step back from the first game.
However, many fans would agree that Dragon’s Dogma 2 has plenty of room for growth. Its overworld is sorely missing a snow biome, which would be the perfect opportunity for Capcom to round out the enemy variety in Dragon’s Dogma 2 while also expanding on its itemization. Recent rumors seem to point in that direction, and with Capcom’s desire to invest heavily in Dragon’s Dogma as a franchise, an expansion announcement feels imminent.

Capcom releases a brand-new update for Dragon’s Dogma 2, fixing several problems with the game’s Pawns among other important issues.
Summer Game Fest 2024 will take place on June 7, 2024, and there’s a very good chance that Capcom will present an early teaser for a Dragon’s Dogma 2 expansion pack during the opening day presentation. If Capcom’s previous titles are anything to go by, fans could expect the DLC to be released by the end of the year, or early 2025. This makes Summer Game Fest 2024 the perfect platform for Capcom to generate excitement for Dragon’s Dogma 2, and Geoff Keighley seems to agree. The Summer Game Fest trailer features Dragon’s Dogma 2 several times, which only further lends credence to the DLC rumors.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 Could Be at Summer Game Fest
It should be important to note that a majority of the leaks regarding Dragon’s Dogma 2 have been debunked. That being said, an expansion pack would be an ideal way for Capcom to add new vocations to Dragon’s Dogma 2, as it has already established a robust and versatile framework in the base game. In fact, the modding community has already toyed around with the idea of making custom vocations, which certainly bodes well for Dragon’s Dogma 2 fans.
Much like Dark Arisen, it should be expected for Dragon’s Dogma 2 to add a new location and major storyline in the expansion, and it could even be used as a way for Capcom to address criticism of the lackluster main quest in Dragon’s Dogma 2. Another way that an expansion could improve upon Dragon’s Dogma 2 would be to expand its endgame beyond the Unmoored World and New Game Plus, and offer players a worthwhile reason to stick around after the conclusion of the story. Though it remains to be seen if Capcom will truly announce an expansion pack for Dragon’s Dogma 2 on June 7, it’s certainly a date to be mindful of.
