After twelve long years since the release of Capcom’s iconic action RPG, Dragon’s Dogma, its sequel, Dragon’s Dogma 2, will finally be released on March 22, 2024, on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam. This highly anticipated sequel to the Xbox game will send the player into the role of the Ascendant, destined to battle an ancient dragon that has terrorized the lands for eons.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 aims to improve on all the aspects that fans and critics loved about the original Dragon’s Dogma: a larger open world to explore, improved game systems and mechanics, a deeper story, and more.
Like any highly anticipated upcoming PC game, there are multiple ways to pre-order the various editions of Dragon’s Dogma 2, each with its own exclusive content and pre-order bonuses. Here’s the full rundown of what you need to know about pre-ordering Dragon’s Dogma 2.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 preorder: What are the pre-order bonuses?
Both the standard and deluxe editions of Dragon’s Dogma 2 have their pre-order bonuses. Pre-ordering the standard edition will get you the Superior Weapons Quartet pack while pre-ordering the deluxe edition will add access to the Superior Weapons Quartet pack and the Ring of Assurance to that list.
These items will appear in the vault and can be obtained by contacting the innkeeper.

Where’s the Collectors Edition?
No limited Collectors Editions of Dragon’s Dogma 2 have been announced at this time. This can be particularly disappointing for fans who appreciate the exclusive in-game items and collectibles offered in such editions.
Regardless, however, it’s worth keeping in mind that the developers may announce a collector’s edition in the future. Such a thing is possible after a survey from Capcom.
What if you were offered an add-on for Dragon’s Dogma II?
Capcom is actively surveying the gaming community’s opinion on possible additional content for Dragon’s Dogma 2. One of the questions asked in the survey concerns players’ interest in releasing DLC for the game. In addition, the developers are interested in how much fans are willing to pay for such content, offering price options ranging from $10 to over $50.
There has been no official announcement about the release of add-ons for Dragon’s Dogma 2 yet, but judging by the survey, Capcom is seriously considering the possibility. Recall that the first installment of the game received a Dark Arisen re-release with additional content, and it’s likely that Dragon’s Dogma 2 may follow suit.
Capcom’s survey allows players to influence the future of the game by expressing their opinions on the desired additional content. The questionnaire also asks about favorite aspects of Dragon’s Dogma 2 and the reasons why players were interested in the game before purchasing it. It is important to note that players are free to express their preferences and wishes, including attitudes towards the donation.
Communities are already forming among the game’s fans, eager to discuss and pass on their suggestions and wishes to the developers. They highlight potential improvements such as expanding the endgame, adding more challenging modes, and optimizing gameplay.
While the first Dragon’s Dogma didn’t receive major DLC and only a few minor updates with cosmetic items and quests, the Dark Arisen re-release was a significant upgrade. Perhaps Dragon’s Dogma 2 will prepare for larger additions, given the community’s interest and experience in developing the first installment of the game.
