“We are forever grateful for your support throughout the years,” reads the website’s homepage, “and hope you will join us in this momentous celebration ofDragon’s Dogma!” There isn’t much information on what the momentous celebration will include, but fans are anticipating apotential announcement ofDragon’s Dogma 2. Considering that the first game came out nearly ten years ago and the Summer Game Fest to replace this year’s E3 is on the way, it is possible that Capcom is gearing up for a sequelannouncement.
Other fans were less hopeful about the possibility of aDragon’s Dogmasequel. While they believed an announcement was on the way thanks to the website, they feel that Capcom will simply re-release a version ofDragon’s Dogmaon newer consoles. The game has gone through a fair amount of re-releases. Back in 2013,Dragon’s DogmareleasedDragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen, an enhanced version of the original game that was later ported to PS4, Xbox One, and PC in 2016. PC specifically allowed for the mostchanges to the originalDragon’s Dogmaformula thanks to the modding capability of the platform.
Whether there will be an announcement forDragon’s Dogma 2is currently unknown. However, it is likely that Capcom will reveal something at this year’s Summer Game Fest to match the showings of Xbox, Bethesda, and Sony. No matter the result,Dragon’s Dogmawill remain a well-loved game that helped begin the trend of difficult fantasygames similar toDark SoulsandElden Ring.
