Dragon’s Dogma 2 patch – Capcom tones down its deadly disease in update

Capcom is pushing a patch for its hugely successful Dragon’s Dogma 2 that reduces the frequency of the Dragonsplague infection, while also making its symptoms easier to spot. Now, anybody infected with the disease with have more obvious glowing eyes – a sure sign that you need to take a visit to the docs.

The patch started making its way live a couple of hours ago so you should get it next time you go into the game, or you can check the status of its download in Steam if you want to make sure it downloads in the background.

Other changes are mainly technical although one change that stands out is the tweak to Pawns to make them “less likely to fall off cliffs.”

Looks like our dreams of a Dragon’s Dogma 2 Lemmings mod has been dashed by the fun-spoilers at Capcom. Let’s have a look at the full details below.

An update for Dragon’s Dogma 2 is now live on all platforms!

It includes adjustments to the dragonsplague, Pawn behavior and fixes to various issues.
