Dragon’s Dogma 2 is one of the most highly anticipated games of the year – and now we know exactly when it will land in the UK.
The sweeping fantasy RPG is out this Friday (March 22) worldwide, but eager players who purchased the digital version can jump on at a specific time based on their region, developer Capcom has revealed.
Based on reviewers’ first impressions, the game could be a classic RPG in the mould of The Witcher 3 and Skyrim. It sounds like a dream sequel that outdoes its predecessor with action-packed combat and quests filled with choices that actually matter.
Here’s when it will be available to play in the UK and other countries around the globe.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 UK release time
Night owls rejoice: Dragon’s Dogma 2 will be available in the UK at midnight on Friday, March 22.
Thankfully, the launch time is the same on Steam, PS5 and Xbox Series consoles for Brits – though we can’t say the same for other regions.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 pre-load time
So, if you pre-order a digital copy online, you’ll be able to play it straight away at 12am on March 22. Pre-loads for Dragon’s Dogma 2 will begin on Wednesday, March 20 for all platforms. The size of the game is roughly 65GB, but it may differ based on your platform of choice.
What’s more, you can get a head start on others by creating your character and pawn by downloading the game’s character creator now. They will then transfer to the full game when it launches. Seeing as it comes with an exhaustive list of customisations, getting a head start may be worth it if you want to dive straight into the action on release day.
