DualShockers • • technology
Key Points:
- Dragon’s Dogma 2, released in early 2024, featured day-one microtransactions that sparked significant controversy despite the items being obtainable through regular gameplay, functioning mainly as optional shortcuts.
- Capcom announced that most DLC items and the Deluxe Edition will be permanently discontinued on June 24, 2024, removing purchasable microtransaction items like Portcrystals and Rift Crystals from digital storefronts.
- Players who have already bought these items or do so before the deadline will still be able to use them normally after removal from sale.
- The removal is linked to preparations for the Dark Arisen expansion, scheduled for release on October 26, 2026, which will offer new content and character customization options.
- Capcom also confirmed a permanent price discount for the base game starting on the same date as the expansion release, signaling a move toward a microtransaction-free experience.
