Capcom announced it will remove several microtransaction items from Dragon's Dogma 2 and discontinue the game's Deluxe Edition starting June 24, 2026 [1, 2]. The items being pulled include the character editor, warp location marker, gaol key, Wakestones that revive the player, Rift Crystals currency packs, and other consumables [1, 2]. However, the Explorer's Camping Kit and custom music sounds, each priced at $2.99, will remain available for purchase [1].
Dragon's Dogma 2, which launched in 2024 to critical acclaim, initially faced criticism over its use of more than 21 microtransactions priced from $0.99 to $4.99 [1, 2]. Some of these items were controversial because they eased challenging gameplay mechanics and were otherwise rare or costly to obtain in-game [1, 2]. Capcom has responded by offering a permanent discount on the digital base game and removing the most contentious microtransactions [1, 2].
The company also released a major title update recently and plans another in late August 2026 aimed at improving frame rate, adding save slots, and enhancing quality of life features [2]. The Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion is scheduled to launch on October 9, 2026 [2].
These changes set the stage for the upcoming expansion while addressing player concerns about microtransaction content. Fans can expect further updates before the October release.
