Game News Devil May Cry: the director of the games on a huge action-RPG signed Capcom?
Published on 05/25/2022 at 13:45
Launched in 2012 on PS3 and Xbox 360 before being reborn a little later in its Dark Arisen version, the action-RPG game Dragon’s Dogma is once once more being talked regarding on the occasion of its tenth anniversary. What surprises does Capcom have in store for us? Could a sequel be in the works?
It is through a brand new website that the publisher Capcom announces the start of celebrations dedicated to the tenth anniversary of Dragon’s Dogma. This is not the first time that the license has been talked regarding once more since rumors have repeatedly left the rumor that the director of the game, Hideaki Itsuno, was eager to prepare a sequel to the original episode. For those to whom the name of Dragon’s Dogma does not evoke much, remember that Hideaki Itsuno directed the main Devil May Cry franchise episodes (apart from the first installment) and that Capcom had serious ambitions for the action-RPG Dragon’s Dogma when it was released in 2012.
An anniversary site for Dragon’s Dogma
Everything suggests that Capcom would not have bothered to set up and site entirely dedicated to the tenth anniversary of Dragon’s Dogma if the editor did not reserve us a surprise worthy of the name regarding him.
DD’s 10th Anniversary Message:
Originally released in 2012, Dragon’s Dogma celebrates its 10th anniversary today! Thank you, Insurgent, for taking up arms and rising to the impossible challenges that awaited you. We will forever be grateful for your support throughout these years and we hope that you will join us in these great celebrations in honor of Dragon’s Dogma! – Hideaki Itsuno
This is the introductory message which welcomes the visitor to the French version of the site in question, just before a chronological frieze reminds us of the tumultuous course of this title. From May 2012 to May 2022, Dragon’s Dogma has indeed experienced many adventures.
De Dragon’s Dogma à Dragon’s Dogma 2 ?
Taking place in a cursed dark fantasy world, the first Dragon’s Dogma is similar to an action/adventure game in which the player embodies an Insurgent. The game system notably offered the possibility of mastering talents from 9 different vocations and rallying up to 3 “pawns” to fight as a team once morest the legions of demons. The following year, the world of Dragon’s Dogma took an even darker turn with the release of Dark Arisenan extension set in the Bitter Reef, still on PS3 and Xbox 360 before making a stopover in HD on PC in 2016. It will be necessary to wait until 2017 for an improved port of Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen to see the light of day on PS4 and Xbox One, already marking the 5th anniversary of the game. The importance attached to the franchise by Capcom also goes through the provision of a version Switch in 2019, allowing us to explore the game’s environments in nomadic mode.
The last important news relayed on this frieze of Dragon’s Dogma is not that far away since it goes back to 2020 with the launch of an animated series visible on Netflix. If the feedback on these has been mixed, its seven episodes still gave us the opportunity to deepen the background of the franchise by discovering how the protagonist had become an Insurgent before leaving to challenge the dragon who had stolen his heart.
Note that a digital comics recounting the game’s prologue had also been produced as soon as the original title was released in 2012. Enough to perfect your knowledge of the franchise before, why not, the announcement of a possible Dragon’s Dogma 2!
