apcom has just sent out word that the anticipated demo for Dragon’s Dogma is due for release next week across both PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE Marketplace!
You’ll get your first playable taster of Capcom’s open-world action RPG when the demo goes live on April 24th on the US PlayStation Store and Xbox LIVE, while a release on the European PlayStation Store will follow the next day, April 25th.
What can you expect to find in this Dragon’s Dogma demo? Here’s Capcom:
“With your party of three Pawns, the demo allows you to experience the different styles of two of the game’s character classes in two challenging encounters.
“A melee specialist skilled in both attacks and counterattacks, as the Fighter you will make your way through underground tunnels and chambers before taking on the deadly Chimera in a Prologue quest, set before the events of the main game. Swift and nimble, the Strider’s weapons of choice are bow and daggers, use them well if you are to defeat the mighty Griffin in the open plains surrounding the capital of Gransys.
“Let your imagination run wild and design both your playable character and main Pawn using the game’s incredibly in-depth character creation tools before you take on the Griffin; purchasers of Dragon’s Dogma will then be able to export both these characters into the full game on its release.”
Dragon’s Dogma is only due out on May 22nd in North America and May 25th in European territories, across PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 - in the meantime, don’t hesitate to look over El33tonline’s extensive previous coverage of this exciting action RPG!
