Title: Why Capcom never gave Dragon's Dogma 2 the 4-player co-op it was made
for is beyond me ΓÇö and this upcoming PC mod proves it

I recently came across DD2gether by ButFrog, which aims to add 4-player
online co-op for the base Dragon's Dogma 2 game and its upcoming Dark Arisen
DLC expansion at a later date. If you're sad that Dragon's Dogma 2 doesn't
have co-op, then this is a mod that should be on your radar.
