Note: Keep in mind that the embargo date is based on unconfirmed leaks.
With Dragon's Dogma 2 set to launch on March 22nd, many players are starting to look towards some of the early reviews before deciding whether or not purchasing the game is worth it. Many fans of the original game are having a lot of doubts about the sequel, with a surprising lack of information being available from Capcom. Concerns about frame-rate issues, a lack of optimization, and little to no news on increased enemy variety are starting to spread like wildfire among the community.
With only three days until the full release of the game, the lack of reviews is starting to create some dread among fans of the series. We have some limited information about when the review embargo is supposed to be lifted, so let's take a look at all of the details surrounding the release of Dragon's Dogma 2.

When Does the Dragon's Dogma 2 Review Embargo Lift?
While there is no official information on when the review embargo is going to lift, there have been some leaks indicating that it will be on Wednesday, March 20th. These leaks are based on a message by German journalist Peter Bathge, who was asked this very question in the comment section of the Gamestar website. If this information is correct, this means that early reviews are going to be available only 2 days before the full release of the game. Many players have started 'doomposting' about the game, based on the severe lack of information surrounding the release.
One of the issues that is troubling long-standing fans of the series is the expected frame-rate of the game, with Hideaki Itsuno recently confirming that it will launch at an ''uncapped 30 fps''. This statement raised a lot of eyebrows, as the standard for console games in the past few years has been a choice between the 30fps quality and 60fps performance modes. An uncapped frame-rate usually means that the game is likely to dip under that threshold, which is very concerning for a fully priced AAA game in 2024.

Another thing that fans have been worried about is the lack of enemy variety, with the promotional trailers of the game mostly showing monsters that were present in the first game, which released 12 years ago. With the map being confirmed to be 4 times the size, an increase in enemy variety is warranted, and only time will tell whether or not the game will deliver in this aspect.
That is everything you need to know about the review embargo of Dragon's Dogma 2. Hopefully, the information about March 20th is correct, and we are able to have some time to process all of the early reviews before the release of the game.
