Dragon’s Dogma 2can be tailored to your desired length, with a relatively short story, but dozens of side quests and hidden areas to uncover. Once you finally decide to roll credits, you’re able to do it all over again – or play in an entirely new way – via a new game plus (NG+).
A new game plus will give you the chance to start the story from the beginning, with the world and all quests reset for you to explore, loot, and enjoy all over again. However, some aspects of your first save will carry over into NG+, and there are new options that can only be found once you start a NG+ file.
