Capcom’s next entry in the Dragon’s Dogma franchise has been announced as a free-to-play title for PS3, PS4, and PC. Dragon’s Dogma Online puts players in the role of an Awakened in the land of Lestaria, with a focus on party-based combat. Players can form parties of up to four people, or partner with AI friendlies to fill in gaps; these NPC pawns can also shorten crafting time and increase item quality.
The title will feature an open world, to be expanded periodically through large seasonal updates and timed quests, and will include microtransactions in place of a monthly fee. Dragon’s Dogma Online will launch sometime this year in Japan.
