Dragon's Dogma 2 demo trial announced: Date and timings, platforms, and more

Capcom has announced a free Dragon's Dogma 2 demo trial to celebrate its massive open-world RPG's debut sale across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S platforms. Players who were previously unable to get their hands on the title can enjoy the first two hours of the full game right now, from creating their character to battling powerful foes with their fellow Pawns.

Capcom also recommends downloading the free Dragon's Dogma 2 Character Creator & Storage, which should allow players to fulfill the character creation pre-requisite without eating into the limited time offered by the free trial.

Here is everything players need to know about the Dragon's Dogma 2 demo.

It should also go without saying that all progress made in this Dragon's Dogma 2 demo will transfer to the full game purchase, including the avatar made in the character creator tool.

Furthermore, the Dragon's Dogma 2 demo time will still count while the game is running in the background, so that is something players need to be wary about.
