Unleashing Exciting New Professions in Dragon's Dogma 2

The reveal of Dragon's Dogma 2 at the PlayStation Showcase was a pleasant surprise for fans of Capcom's beloved ARPG series, who had been eagerly awaiting any news about the game. The trailer not only showcased improved visuals and a new camera angle, but also introduced a variety of new monsters, locations, and, of course, the iconic dragons that players have come to expect. The gameplay footage gave a glimpse of player characters and their Pawn sidekicks utilizing new attacks and skills, strongly suggesting the inclusion of new Vocations in Dragon's Dogma 2. This exciting development only serves to heighten anticipation for the upcoming title.

In the first game, Dragon's Dogma, Vocations served as the game's version of traditional RPG class archetypes. However, players were limited to choosing from only three Vocations initially. It was only after leveling up each of these base Vocations that players were able to access their evolved forms. With Dragon's Dogma 2, Capcom has a unique opportunity to build upon the success of the first game, as well as its Dark Arisen expansion, and ensure strong sales for the sequel. One way to achieve this would be to introduce new Vocations that fill in the gaps left by the missing class archetypes in the first game. This would undoubtedly contribute to the overall success of Dragon's Dogma 2 and further solidify Capcom's position in the gaming industry.

New Vocations that Should Make an Appearance in Dragon's Dogma 2

Dragon's Dogma 2 would greatly benefit from the inclusion of a Lancer or Dragoon class. With spears already being a weapon type in the game, the absence of a spear-focused class is keenly felt, particularly when facing off against larger enemies. The ability to climb onto these enemies and strategically attack them from their backs or hindquarters is a valuable tactic, and having a Vocation that excels in this area would be a perfect addition to Dragon's Dogma 2. Additionally, the Alchemist Vocation, which was available in Dragon's Dogma Online, would also be a natural fit for the game.

Dragon's Dogma 2's Trailer Hints at the Existence of Monk and Necromancer Vocations

Fans of Dragon's Dogma wasted no time dissecting the game's reveal trailer and official artwork for Dragon's Dogma 2. One notable find was an official artwork featuring golden statues representing each potential Vocation in the game. By utilizing image upscaling techniques, astute fans deduced that one of the unidentified Vocations appears to be a Necromancer or Summoner, based on the staff they wield.

Moreover, a piece of concept art unveiled what is unmistakably a Monk-type class archetype, leading fans to speculate that this Vocation may eventually transform into a Druid. Drawing inspiration from Dungeons and Dragons class archetypes, much like other ARPGs such as Diablo, Dragon's Dogma's Vocations offer a plethora of unexplored options for players in the series. With Dragon's Dogma 2 aiming to expose Capcom's hidden gem to a wider audience, the inclusion of additional Vocations could attract new players by allowing them to embody their preferred RPG playstyle.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is in development for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
