Dragon’s Dogma 2 is getting another update this month, and it brings good news for players worried about their Pawns getting dragonsplague. This mysterious illness affects the game’s customizable NPCs, making them turn violent over time. The update aims to make dragonsplague less common and easier to notice when Pawns are infected.
Dragonsplague causes Pawns’ eyes to glow, indicating they’re infected. But it can be hard to see this in the game, especially since their eyes only glow sometimes. The update will make the signs of dragonsplague more noticeable, like making glowing eyes easier to see.
To all Dragon’s Dogma 2 players
We have an update planned this month with the following adjustments and fixes. We will release them on each platform as soon as they are ready.

Additionally, the update will let players zoom in on the faces of characters to check for signs of dragonsplague more easily. This should make it simpler to manage this aspect of the game.
Apart from these changes, the update focuses on improving Pawn behavior. Pawns will talk less often, their statements will reflect game events better, and they’ll be less likely to fall off cliffs. There are also fixes for issues like players getting jailed during monster fights in towns and adjustments to the minimap to remove acquired treasure chests.
Unfortunately, the update doesn’t address the game’s performance issues, which involve heavy CPU usage due to complex character simulations. Capcom, the game’s developer, is still working on improving this aspect.
Despite these issues, Dragon’s Dogma 2 remains a great game, even though it has a mixed rating on Steam due to its performance problems.
