Will Dragon’s Dogma 2 feature mounts?

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is Capcom’s next fantasy RPG, and much like its 2012 predecessor, the sequel places an emphasis on open-world exploration. If you’re wondering whether the game will feature flying or land mounts, here’s everything you need to know.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the cult 2012 RPG. Developed by Capcom, the title will see players take on the role of an Insurgent once again. They will then embark on a perilous quest to face the fearsome dragon. Many elements from the first game will return to the RPG, such as Pawns, Nicknames, and more.

Another aspect that players look forward to is an open world populated with random points of interest and interactions. The game world will also be substantial in size, almost four times larger than the original to be precise. This raises obvious questions about how players will travel across the map, as the first game didn’t feature mounts.

Here is everything you need to know about horses and other mounts in Dragon’s Dogma 2.

Are there horses or mounts in Dragon’s Dogma 2?

No, Dragon’s Dogma 2 will not have horses or mounts. Players are encouraged to move around the map on foot. The first game placed a heavy emphasis on walking to destinations while interacting with the environment and engaging in combat, and the sequel expands on this concept.

Despite the lack of mounts, there are ways to move quickly. You can use a rare resource known as Transstones to jump directly to a location. You can also travel via carts as an alternative to walking. It is important to note that your cart may be attacked by dangerous creatures along the way.

It’s not uncommon to have fast transportation in modern RPGs. But Dragon’s Dogma 2 wants to get around this aspect by emphasizing the “fun”side of the open world, as explained by game director Hideaki Itsuno.

In an interview with Automaton, Itsuno said, “Our goal was to provide a course so enjoyable that players wouldn’t feel the need for a horse. We built a lot of ‘fun’ into the map so that players wouldn’t get bored on the way, and our development policy was to make it so that it would actually be a shame to ride a horse.

So that’s everything you need to know about mounts in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
