Can you play co-op in Dragon’s Dogma 2?

No. Unforunately, Dragon’s Dogma 2 does not have multiplayer or co-op. Because of this, you won’t be able to play online with your friends. Well, at least not in the traditional sense. Dragon’s Dogma 2 features a Pawn system much like the first game in the series that allows you to fire Pawns created by other players and shared via the online network.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is entirely a single-player experience with the only option of companionship being the game’s Pawns. You can create a Pawn and share it online. This has been shown off as part of the Character Creator that was released on all systems.
