Dragon’s Dogma 2 was very well-received when it released earlier this year despite the controversy surrounding the microtransactions and Dragonsplague, and it’s only picked up steam since then. This patch doesn’t do anything particularly major, but reducing the frequency of the Dragonsplague infection should make it much more palatable to the player base.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is now available on PC and consoles.
