We've finally gotten the first look at the long-anticipated Dragon's Dogma sequel.
The new trailer featured a host of creatures, from a dragon roaring over the ruins of a castle to a medusa. It also featured plenty of combat, suggesting that Dragon's Dogma 2 will bear a greater resemblance to the original game than one might expect. It'll be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Hideaki Itsuno, the director of the original 2012 action RPG, announced that it was in development during a 10 Years of Dragon's Dogma livestream last summer, but little information has been revealed since. It's being developed on the RE Engine.
Dragon's Dogma may not be one of the biggest Capcom IP, but it gained a passionate fanbase after its release, particularly for its versatile combat and memorable boss battles. Prior to last year's official announcement, a massive Capcom data breach revealed the sequel was in development, making fans even more eager.
While this will be the first new mainline Dragon's Dogma game in more than a decade, an enhanced edition, Dark Arisen, was released for PC in 2016, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2017, and Nintendo Switch in 2019. It also got an MMO, Dragon's Dogma Online, in 2015, though it was exclusive to Japan and shut down in 2019.
IGN gave the original Dragon's Dogma a 7.5/10, calling it a "strange game": "It does some really brave and interesting things, but it also feels unfinished, with technical problems that often spoil things."
