Dragon’s Dogma 2 Achieves Sales Success, fueling Demand for Future Development
Tokyo, Japan – Capcom’s Dragon’s Dogma 2, released in March 2024, has proven a commercial success, generating significant player enthusiasm for continued development of the franchise. Despite a lack of ample updates as January 2025, the game’s community is actively advocating for expansions or a sequel, demonstrating strong ongoing interest in the action role-playing series.
The positive reception arrives at a pivotal moment for the Dragon’s Dogma brand.Longtime director Hideaki Itsuno departed Capcom after three decades with the company, raising concerns about the future leadership of the series.This transition,coupled with the relatively quiet period following the game’s launch,has prompted fans to voice their desire for Capcom to invest further in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
Itsuno previously stated that Dragon’s Dogma 2 was intentionally crafted as a niche title, aimed at a dedicated audience. He expressed satisfaction with the game’s resonance within that specific player base. While Capcom has not announced any concrete plans for additional content, speculation centers on Kento Kinoshita, director of Dark arisen, as a potential successor to lead future Dragon’s Dogma projects.
Capcom is preparing to release Resident Evil Requiem and Onimusha in the coming year, signaling continued strength in its development pipeline. The success of Dragon’s Dogma 2 reinforces the company’s position as a leading game developer and highlights the potential for further growth within its diverse portfolio.
