Report: Dragon’s Dogma 2 Multiplayer Referenced in Datamined Files

While Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a pretty beefy game on its own, could Capcom be expanding the experience with DLC? That might be the case — if info from a recent datamine is to be believed, and it will feature multiplayer.

One investigative individual datamined the pre-release Denuvo-less build of Dragon’s Dogma 2, and it unearthed some fascinating strings of code.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 Datamine Hints at Multiplayer Being Added

The text at the bottom says “Multiplayer mode: Tower of the New Moon” which implies that some sort of multiplayer component will be made available to Dragon’s Dogma 2 in the future. Alongside that, there’s also “Boss Rush” mode, which most likely refers to players fighting bosses — and just bosses — in their own separate mode.

Mind, the files datamined could very well be cut content during the development process, though that seems highly unlikely.

Given the data strings and the kind of content they are referring to, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Boss Rush and Multiplayer modes are free updates planned to be released by Capcom in the future. We’ve certainly seen Boss Rush modes added in as free updates in other games. However, there is also the chance that these are premium (read: paid) DLC as well, so don’t quote me on that. Speaking of which, back in September, the game’s files were updated in the backend that referenced to DLC as well, though this time around, a datamine provided more info.

For reference, the first Dragon’s Dogma featured a premium expansion in Dark Arisen, which coincided with the game’s re-release. It featured an entirely new questline, a new dungeon in the Bitterblack Isle, new weapons, armor and more.
