Dragon's Dogma II will be among the key attractions during the Capcom Showcase event, next week. The publisher updated its official website, detailing what to expect from its annual presentation, which also includes the team-based shooter Capcom's official YouTube and Twitch channels.

The Dragon's Dogma 2. For now, there aren't too many details on the plot, but a hymn from the official website reveals that the story follows an Arisen — the chosen one — who is destined to slay the Dragon residing in an underground gaol and claim the throne. However, the reptile is not only seen as a mere mythical creature but also as the ‘symbol of the world's destruction,' with a certain population revering it as a god. We aren't alone on the journey — a group of ‘Pawns,' mysterious otherworldly beings devoted to serving the Arisen, in. These are AI-driven, of course.

The Capcom Showcase airs next Monday, June 12 at 3pm PDT! Look forward to new looks at Dragon's Dogma 2, Exoprimal, Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, as well as a few other updates!https://t.co/uLbZaxVfEu #CapcomShowcase pic.twitter.com/VTadH0Ia3I

One of the characters in the The Witcher 3, seems to be doubtful of the player's abilities, questioning where the true Arisen might be. The title's description notes that players can “choose their own experience” in approaching different situations, which suggests that she could be convinced otherwise, through dialogue options. There was also some HUD-less gameplay presented in the footage, including some bow-and-arrow combat, where it looked as if the arrows were imbued with lightning magic — effective against rock-type enemies. Playing as a sorcerer appears to have the most potential, letting you create bridges out of water, hail fiery meteors, and even cast a small artificial sun to illuminate the dark corners of the forest.

Combat looks similar to that of Xbox Series S/X.

Capcom has promised new information on releases during the 36-minute-long show, which also happens to mark its 40th anniversary. There's an PS VR2.
