Sadly, with all the clips of Dragon's Dogma 2 that’ve been buzzing around ahead of its release later this week, fans aren’t sure it’ll be able to enjoy the kind of wholesome community vibes that Elden Ring had immediately after its release.

Every quest is fresh and every boss requires you to do some learning on the fly so you can beat ‘em.
