Dragon’s Dogma is going to be the Zone of the Enders of 2012. We don’t mean it’s going to have awesome robots — rather, a significant portion of its audience will be buying it only for the included demo.

Capcom announced today that Dragon’s Dogma will be out in North America on May 22, and in Europe on May 25. Each copy will include a code for access to a Resident Evil 6 demo — if you buy it on Xbox, you’ll be able to get the demo 60 days before anyone else, on July 3. The PSN version of the demo will go up on September 4 in North America and September 5 in Europe. It’s not quite an Xbox exclusive, but it might as well be given that lead time!

For those of you actually interested in Dragon’s Dogma for its non-Resident Evil content, Capcom shared the new trailer above. It also announced exclusive pre-order DLC from various retailers: the “Pawn Upgrade Pack” from GameStop, the “Armor Upgrade Pack” from Best Buy, and the “Weapon Upgrade Pack” from Amazon. More DLC will be forthcoming, including weapons, armor, and new quests.

Finally, Dragon’s Dogma will feature a new original song by “Japan’s foremost rock band” B’z.
