Capcom has confirmed quite a few new details about its upcoming Dragon’s Dogma action adventure game, including the fact that new copies of the game will have a special voucher that allows owners access to the Resident Evil 6 demo on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Dragon’s Dogma is one of Capcom’s newest intellectual properties, with the Japanese company trying to provide its own action adventure take on the medieval fantasy setting.

Now, in order to get more people interested in the new title, which is out on May 22, in North America, and May 25, in Europe, Capcom has confirmed that an extra incentive is now available, in the form of access to the Resident Evil 6 demo that will be released in summer.

“Those who purchase Dragon's Dogma at retail will receive a redeemable download token for the Resident Evil 6 demo, which they will be able to try out on July 3rd for Xbox 360, or September 4th (NA/JPN)/September 5th (EU) for PS3,” Capcom revealed.

While that’s a pretty big wait for PlayStation 3 owners, the demo will still arrive quite early, considering the final game is released on November 20.

What’s more, in order to hype up the special Pawn System from Dragon’s Dogma, which helps players by allowing them to have up to three AI-controlled partners, special pre-order incentives related to it are now available from retailers like GameStop, Best Buy or Amazon.

-GameStop is offering the ‘Pawn Upgrade Pack,’, which will give players additional Rift Crystals, allowing them to "rent" higher-level Pawns from the game's outset.

-The ‘Armor Upgrade Pack’ offered through Best Buy and the ‘Weapon Upgrade Pack’ from Amazon.com will deliver higher level armor and weapons, respectively, giving players a real advantage when tackling the toughest of enemies. Dragon’s Dogma will also be supported by a variety of DLC, according to Capcom, so stay tuned for more details about the add-ons and the actual game.
