In the run-up to launch, Capcom is yet to confirm whether pre-loading (which allows you to download the game prior to launch) will be available. That being said, the studio has launched early access to the game’s character creation system, which will let players make their character and have them ready for launch. Access it here for PC, here for PS5, and here for Xbox.
To help pass the time until launch, Capcom recently released a video of actor Ian McShane recapping the world of Dragon’s Dogma 2.
