By utilising the Xbox LIVE online entertainment network or PlayStation Network players will journey to the Rift where they can share their own Pawns with friends and be rewarded with treasure, knowledge of the world and strategies for taking down enemies. Conversely, players can borrow friends€™ Pawns with the specific skills or experience required to tackle a particular quest. In addition, Dragon€™s Dogma will ship with thousands of ready-made Pawns for players to pick their allies offline.
Pre-order buyers will be rewarded with the following: The €˜Pawn Upgrade Pack€™ will give players additional Rift Crystals allowing them to rent higher level experience Pawns from the outset. The €˜Armour Upgrade Pack€™ and €˜Weapon Upgrade Pack€™ deliver higher level armour and weapons respectively giving players a real advantage when tackling the toughest of enemies. Additionally, Capcom will be supporting Dragon€™s Dogma post launch with a comprehensive suite of downloadable content including additional quests as well as weapon and armour upgrades.
