Capcom is exploring interest levels in potential Dragon’s Dogma 2 DLC pricing - suggesting ambitions beyond mere microtransactions.
It appears Capcom is considering expanding Dragon's Dogma 2 with additional content, having inquired from gamers how much they would be willing to spend for such updates.
An extensive online questionnaire has been released by Capcom, inviting feedback from participants. This survey dives into details, querying participants about their platform of choice for Dragon's Dogma 2, reasons for purchasing, if they have employed an 'Official Pawn,' and notably, their willingness to invest in DLC and their expectations from it.
Participants have options ranging from £10 and $10, all the way up to £50 and $50, for their acceptable expenditure on Dragon's Dogma 2 DLC. Furthermore, a space is provided for players to detail their specific desires regarding the DLC, allowing Capcom to gather more nuanced insights.
Even the lowest price point of £10/$10 proposes DLC options pricier than any current offerings for Dragon's Dogma 2, hinting at Capcom's intention towards more significant DLC content, prompted by the recent survey, rather than simple additional items.
At its launch, the volume of microtransaction possibilities for Dragon's Dogma 2 surprised many gamers. An array of purchasable items—including Portcrystals, Wakestones, and Ferrystones—is available but can also be acquired through gameplay, contributing to Dragon Dogma 2’s overall Steam review score settling on 'Mixed.'
The first installment of Dragon's Dogma did receive DLC, which did not significantly alter the game but included new quests for players to embark on. This contrasts with what seems to be planned for the sequel, focusing more on item-centric DLC.
Furthermore, some players have started to manipulate the in-game economy of Dragon's Dogma 2, leveraging their Pawns in a strategy that nets them 200k gold every two hours.
