Capcom has officially announced Dragon’s Dogma 2, a sequel to the studio’s 2012 action RPG.Hideaki Itsuno, the director of the original Dragon’s Dogma, announced the sequel at the end of the 10 Years of Dragon’s Dogma livestream today. Besides learning that it the new game is being developed on the RE Engine, we received no further information about the game besides a logo on a shirt worn by Itsuno.Dragon’s Dogma was directed by Capcom’s Hideaki Itsuno, best known for his work on Devil May Cry. Dragon’s Dogma’s focus on real-time combat in a dark medieval fantasy world intrigued fans, but it was the deep action system, AI-controlled allies, and deep RPG roots that earned it a lot of fans. Even when the series failed financially.While fans’ hope for a proper sequel was dim, Capcom’s high-profile data leak, which indicated Dragon’s Dogma 2 in the works, led to a new optimism.There was also hope after Netflix chose to bring a Dragon’s Dogma anime to its subscribers in 2020. In our Dragon’s Dogma anime review, we said, “the action and visuals are fantastic, but the meandering plot doesn’t match the scope and grandeur of the show.”Have a tip for us?
