Start a new game in Dragon's Dogma 2 - not an easy task: when you restart the title or exit to the main menu, you will notice that the function, familiar to many projects of this type, is simply no. A reasonable question arises: what to do if you want to recreate your character and start the campaign again, but it is impossible to do this using available methods.
This guide will tell you how to play Dragon's Dogma 2 again on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox. We will offer step-by-step instructions for deleting saves so that the desired function appears when you restart the project.
Is it possible to start the game again in DD2?
The lack of the “Start a new game” function in DD2 struck s who bought the project in a negative way. It is difficult to understand what exactly caused this decision on the part of the developers: there are no comments on this topic.
The only thing that can be identified as a reason is a reference to the mechanics of the first part of the franchise: a similar situation existed there. The only difference is that in the first “Dragon's Dogma” there was the opportunity to open a new campaign, provided that the past saves completely disappear, that is, the character himself is deleted. Luckily for players who want to start their journey as the Risen from scratch, there is still a workaround - deleting save files.
