Dragon's Dogma 2 character creator released early for free

Ahead of the release of Dragon's Dogma 2 later this month, Capcom has made the character creator available to download.

It means players can create up to five designs for both their Arisen and main Pawn ahead of time, which will transfer to the main game.

And when the character creator is this detailed, getting ahead of the game is a massive win.

The tool is available for free across all platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Players are already noticing how detailed the creator is and coming up with some bizarre characters.

Check out this elongated guy!

Of course, the Killmonger Dreads are included, but as X user Kami notes there are a decent number of authentic hairstyles.

You can even customize teeth!

Dragon's Dogma 2 was also shown at last night's Capcom Highlights showcase (video above).

Director Hideaki Itsuno and producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi showed off more of the game's emerging gameplay and the impact of player decisions.

Further, there will be Pawns created by streamers and content creators available for players to download in-game, which includes Elden Ring player MissMikkaa and former Nintendo Minute presenter Krysta.

Dragon's Dogma 2 will be released on 22nd March. For more on the game, check out our preview.
