Dragon’s Dogma 2 has been relatively discreet since its release two months ago, which caused a lot of excitement, but it is still a new absolute hit for Capcom.
One week after the release of Dragon’s Dogma 2, Capcom announced very good figures for its latest title. Around two months later, the open-world role-playing game has now crossed a symbolic threshold. In any case, the Japanese giant is clearly very satisfied with these results.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 continues to advance
When it was released on March 22, Dragon’s Dogma 2 didn’t have a smooth launch. In addition to a lively controversy surrounding the addition of microtransactions, the game’s performance on both PC and consoles was also not great. The situation has since improved thanks to patches, but it’s still far from ideal. However, these concerns apparently didn’t stop Capcom’s title from selling very well.
The Japanese giant announced today that Dragon’s Dogma 2 has officially p assed the symbolic threshold of three million copies sold. It takes the opportunity to thank the insurgents for their support. Some people, a little sarcastic, responded that the return would be grateful for the achievements, which were still a little shaky. Regardless, this success has obviously given Capcom some ideas. As the first niche and little-known game, it puts the license on a par with giants such as Resident Evil or Monster Hunter.
A third opus is therefore entirely possible, and a priori not after a 12-year wait, as was the case between Dragon’s Dogma and its sequel. Beyond commercial success, the game was also a way for Capcom to test the capabilities of the RE Engine in an open world. These valuable lessons would have served to set the stage for a Resident Evil 9 that could also take the open world side. This is what we have learned, in any case, through recent leaks, in the absence of an official announcement from the Japanese studio.
