The first patch for Dragon’s Dogma 2 is officially out on PlayStation 5 and Steam. In additional to a handful of new graphical settings, it adds the option to start a new save file and increases the number of “Art of Metamorphosis” tomes (which allow you to change your character’s appearance) in the game. You can see the full patch notes here. A patch for the Xbox Series X version of the game is planned for the coming days.
Originally, Dragon’s Dogma 2 only offered a single save slot, meaning players who wanted to start the game again — perhaps to try a different specialization — could only do so by manually deleting their save file at the system level first. The process is fiddly, involving disabling cloud saving and, for Steam players, actually locating their game save on the hard drive.
Capcom initially said it would add “the option to start a new game when save data already exists” as part of the first wave of updates to Dragon’s Dogma 2.
