A few hours ago, Capcom revealed the PC requirements for Dragon’s Dogma 2. And, from the looks of it, this game will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. Moreover, the team shared a new gameplay video that you can find below. So, be sure to watch it after the jump.
To be honest, this should come as a surprise. After all, Capcom has been using Denuvo in all of its latest PC releases. Dragon’s Dogma 2 will be powered by the RE Engine and so far, we haven’t seen a game that had performance issues due to Denuvo.
Now you may remember some stuttering issues in Resident Evil Village. But guess what? It wasn’t Denuvo’s fault; it was Capcom’s very own anti-tamper tech. And when crackers exposed those issues, Capcom fixed them with an update.
Let’s also not forget that Capcom has removed Denuvo from most of its older Resident Evil games. Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 2 Remake, and Resident Evil 3 Remake no longer have it. On the other hand, Resident Evil 4 Remake still has it, though it’s only a matter of time until Capcom removes it from it too.
In conclusion, I don’t expect Denuvo to cause any performance issues. Of course, that’s my assumption and nothing more. Until we try it, we’ll never know for sure. Still, all RE Engine games performed incredibly well on PC. So I’m pretty sure that Dragon’s Dogma 2 will also run great.
Capcom will release Dragon’s Dogma 2 on March 22nd, 2024. The game will also support Ray Tracing. Thus, it will be interesting to see how the team will utilize it. Will it use it to only improve the game’s reflections? Or will we see some ray-traced shadows and global illumination?
Enjoy the following gameplay video and stay tuned for more!
