Capcom reveals new event mode for Dragon's Dogma the mighty Ur-Dragon

Capcom has today revealed a new event mode for Dragon's Dogma, in which players and their parties of Pawns can compete collectively with other players from around the world in an asynchronous encounter against the Ur-Dragon via Xbox LIVE or PlayStation Network.

The effect of each party’s attacks will be combined, but be warned its immense strength means it will take multiple encounters before the Ur-Dragon finally falls. Players that deals the fatal blow will receive the maximum reward, but regardless all players can still obtain both common and rare items dropped by the Ur-Dragon when they inflict damage.

Players without an online connection can also take on the Ur-Dragon alone, but the rewards will be different to those received online. All slayers of the Ur-Dragon will have their names and play times recorded in a hall of fame for others to view and aim to beat.
