Announced back in July 2022, as part of the 10th-anniversary celebrations for the first game, the long-awaited Dragon’s Dogma 2 is only a few weeks away. The sequel to the cult-favourite action RPG will use the ever-versatile RE Engine and, if the current wave of reviews are anything to go by, it has the potential to be one of 2024’s best new game releases.
After launching a gameplay reveal trailer back in May 2023, Capcom’s promotion producer Ken Mendoza noted that Dragon’s Dogma has maintained its popularity thanks to the quality of its combat and a unique pawn system, and that “Dragon’s Dogma 2 follows in its footsteps elevating these elements further to create a truly immersive fantasy world for your adventures ahead.”
In the Kotaku review of Dragon’s Dogma 2, we were very impressed by the experience, especially when compared to the original game:
“My impression coming away from Dragon’s Dogma 2 is that, throughout the past decade of seismic triple-A releases, [Hideaki] Itsuno has been holed up in an underground bunker somewhere, scrupulously taking notes–not on his contemporaries, but on Dragon’s Dogma. Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a game unburdened by any influence save that of its own predecessor; it is, on every level, a supremely confident melding of ideas; it contains at least a little bit of everything I’ve ever loved about video games.”
