What you need to know
- Since Dragon's Dogma 2's launch late last week, players have started to encounter the unique Dragonsplague mechanic. This in-game disease can infect Pawns and eventually cause them to transform into shadow dragons that kill every NPC in a town or city.
- There are signs to spot Dragonsplague and ways to deal with it, though they can be a bit obscure. Overall, the game's community is currently panicking about Dragonsplague a fair amount.
- Early on Tuesday, Capcom's social media manager of the game's official X (Twitter) account posted a GIF of the start of a Dragonsplague transformation followed by the caption "Nice town you got there...," poking fun at the situation lightheartedly.
- Fan responses to the post range from annoyed to amused, but most are laughing at how the poster has no chill.
