Dragon's Dogma 2 Updates Dragonsplague and More in New Patch Notes

The latest Dragon's Dogma 2 update is out now. Here's what it does:

By Tanner Dedmon

Capcom promised recently a new Dragon's Dogma 2 update that would nerf Dragonsplague to make the pesky ailment more apparent whenever someone's inflicted with it. That change plus more updates were previewed in some early patch notes for Dragon's Dogma 2 with the full patch notes out now to show exactly what's changed. Dragonsplague should indeed be easier to spot now, and players will hopefully find now that their pawns don't fling themselves off of cliffs quite as often anymore among other changes.

The same Dragon's Dogma 2 update was released simultaneously for the PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam platforms, so no staggered patch notes to speak of here. While the Dragonsplague change is the most impactful one hence why it was previewed before, the update also improves Pawns behaviors beyond tossing themselves off cliffs and makes it so that you won't go hunting after treasure chests on your map that you may have already found.
