If you’ve set out on a journey in Dragon’s Dogma 2 and later choose to start fresh with a different character or strategy, you might initially be puzzled by the apparent absence of an option to start a new game. However, a solution exists, albeit in a less conventional form.
Achieving a fresh campaign is possible by deleting your saved game file. This action will lead to a new character creation screen upon your next game launch, ensuring a clean slate for your adventure.
How to find your Save Game Files for Dragon's Dogma 2
Dragon’s Dogma 2’s savegame location is by default on your Steam installation drive. In our case, as seen in the sample image below, it’s on D: drive. Whichever it is for you, open your explorer and go to \Steam\userdata\ (NOTE: It’ll be the case if you haven’t moved your main Steam installation drive, that it’s by default placed under /Program Files (x86)/steam/userdata)
Within that folder, you’ll encounter a folder labeled with a unique sequence of numbers. For instance, in the provided example, the folder on our PC is named “43299415.” Should you come across multiple folders each labeled by a numerical name, you’ll need to locate one that closely matches this example. Navigate into the folder to proceed.
That folder will contain other folders that will also be named with a set of numbers. One thing is certain, Dragon’s Dogma 2 folder / savegame file location will be named precisely as the number 2054970. Go inside this folder.
Click on the “remote” folder and delete the “win64_save” folder that’s inside.
Alternatively, since there is a possibility that different people will have different installation locations, and drives, we would use the explorer search function and look for the folder “2054970” on either drive. And you will cut straight to it.
Additionally, if you’re planning to start a new game in Dragon’s Dogma 2, you’ll need to turn off Steam Cloud synchronization for the game.
Today, Capcom revealed that a forthcoming patch will address the current limitation, enabling players to begin a new campaign directly from the main menu. While this patch is not yet available, it is expected to be released sometime within the week.
