Before the official release of the game on March 22, 2024 the developers at Capcom released a Character Creator & Storage demo. Within it you could spend as much time as you wanted creating various ideas for your Arisen and Pawn characters! Now, will share the step by step instructions for importing your chosen character into the full version of the game.

How to Import Characters into Dragon’s Dogma 2

Importing your characters into the full release of Dragon’s Dogma 2 is as simple as choosing the blank slate character and the game will automatically ask if you wish to ‘use existing character data’. Two weeks prior to launch Capcom released a Character Creator & Storage demo for players to get a head start on creating their Arisen and Pawn.

However, the Character Creator demo gave you up to five slots for Arisen and Pawns each. Therefore, you could experiment and create more than one character. In Dragon’s Dogma 2, however, you can only have one save file, and therefore, one single Arisen and created Pawn. Before starting your new game, you will need to go into the Character Creator demo and ‘finalize’ the characters you wish to officially transfer over.
