You really had to figure things out for yourself in Dragon&#8217;s Dogma 2, and it was one of the best things about it, as long as you didn&#8217;t mind having to react to and deal with the world.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, that approach was somewhat undermined by the fact that Capcom shoved a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/dragons-dogma-2-mostly-negative-steam-reviews-microtransactions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">bunch of microtransactions into the game that let players skip some of its purposeful design<\/a> choices by paying a little extra. Players really hated it and made that known, and it seems that Capcom is finally listening after all that time.<\/p>\n<p>                        Dragon&#8217;s Dogma 2 Is Finally Getting Rid Of Most Of Its Microtransactions<\/p>\n<p>            The Digital Deluxe Edition Is Also Going, But The Base Game Is Getting A Permanent Discount<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Okami13_\/status\/2066173018053779500\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">As pointed out by Twitter user Okami13_<\/a> in news that likely got <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/dragons-dogma-2-dark-arisen-switch-2-port-dlc-revealed-october-nintendo-direct\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">overshadowed by Dark Arisen&#8217;s recent announcement<\/a>, the official Dragon&#8217;s Dogma 2 account recently shared an update on the game&#8217;s digital sales. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DragonsDogma\/status\/2064860348872536529\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">The statement says that, due to the development of &#8220;additional content&#8221;<\/a> and changes that are being made in updates, Capcom is removing several DLC items from the game&#8217;s store on June 24.<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/play-dragons-dogma-2-if-you-loved-crimson-desert\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                        <img width=\"440\" height=\"248\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Dragon's Dogma 2 Key Art\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1343957.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1343957.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                    <\/a><\/p>\n<p>                    Related<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/play-dragons-dogma-2-if-you-loved-crimson-desert\/\" title=\"Liking Crimson Desert?

Then You&#8217;re Going To Love Dragon&#8217;s Dogma 2<br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">Both Dragon&#8217;s Dogma 2 and Crimson Desert are absolutely one-of-a-kind. <\/p>\n<p>The DLC items that are being removed include the Wakestone that restores dead characters to life, Rift Crystals, character editor, warp location marker, pawn inclination changer, and much more. Basically, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/dragons-dogma-2-microtransactions-dlc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">most of the things that let you bypass Dragon Dogma 2&#8217;s progression<\/a> aren&#8217;t going to be sold anymore.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not all that&#8217;s happening to Dragon&#8217;s Dogma 2, though, as the statement confirms that the <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DragonsDogma\/status\/2064860348872536529\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">digital version of the base game is going to receive a permanent discount<\/a>, likely because the Digital Deluxe edition is being discontinued as well. Of course, the Dark Arisen DLC is incoming and likely to cost a decent chunk, so this discount does make sense with that in mind.<\/p>\n<p>        <img width=\"960\" height=\"1440\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mixcollage-07-dec-2024-08-47-am-9794.jpg\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mixcollage-07-dec-2024-08-47-am-9794.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mixcollage-07-dec-2024-08-47-am-9794.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>    \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/tag\/dragons-dogma-2\/\" title=\"Dragon&#039;s Dogma 2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tDragon&#8217;s Dogma 2<br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>                                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.thegamerimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/tg-custom-logo-rate-colored-2.svg\" alt=\"The Gamer rate\" title=\"TheGamer rate\" width=\"35\" height=\"35\"\/><\/p>\n<p>4.5\/5<\/p>\n<p>                                            Released<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMarch 22, 2024<\/p>\n<p>                                            ESRB<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\tMature 17+ \/\/ Blood and Gore, Language, Sexual Themes, Violence<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/battlefield-6-ai-argument-broken-updates\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                        <img width=\"440\" height=\"248\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Soldier in Battlefield 6 running past an explosion.\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/soldier-in-battlefield-6-running-past-an-explosion.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/soldier-in-battlefield-6-running-past-an-explosion.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                    <\/a><\/p>\n<p>                    Next<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/battlefield-6-ai-argument-broken-updates\/\" title=\"Is AI Making Battlefield 6 Worse?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t\tIs AI Making Battlefield 6 Worse?<br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">Players are starting to speculate as to why every Battlefield 6 update breaks something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More than two years after launch, Dragon&#8217;s Dogma 2 is discontinuing the sale of many of its controversial&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":638837,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[59,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-638836","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gb","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638836","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=638836"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638836\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/638837"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=638836"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=638836"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=638836"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
