In order to help Dragon's Dogma stand out from the crowd, Capcom will be releasing a demo in a few days. The action RPG sampler will hit PSN and Xbox Live on April 24th in North America and on the 25th in Europe.
The demo lets players try the sword-and-board Fighter class in a Prologue quest. Players will battle their way through underground tunnels and then fight a Chimera. In a separate mission, you'll play as the jack-of-all-trades Strider class and fight a Griffin in the fields of Gransys.
Players will also be able to toy around with the character creation tool. You can make your main character as well as an NPC companion, or Pawn. Your creations can then be imported into the full game.
Dragon's Dogma will debut on May 22nd in North America. The European release will follow on the 25th.
