Alright, let me break it down for you. So, word on the street is that Dragon’s Dogma II might hit the gaming scene on March 22, 2024 – at least, that’s what the PEGI rating spilled. The rating page did a vanishing act, but not before some quick-fingered folks snagged a screenshot, and guess what? It listed the March date for all platforms – PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Now, hold on to your hats because Capcom dropped the bomb today – they’re throwing a Dragon’s Dogma II showcase party on November 28. It’s gonna be a 15-minute extravaganza with fresh gameplay scoops, and the dynamic duo behind it all, director Hideaki Itsuno and producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, will be your hosts. As of now, Capcom’s keeping the release date cards close to their chest, but who knows, they might just spill the beans at the showcase. If not, keep your eyes peeled for The Game Awards 2023 – it could be the big reveal spot.
By the way, did you know that Itsuno drew some inspiration from Grand Theft Auto V? He’s on a mission to cook up a “living world” vibe for Dragon Dogma II, mirroring the magic Rockstar created. They threw the Dragon’s Dogma II announcement our way back in June 2022, celebrating the first game’s 10th birthday. Now, there’s a bunch of reasons to dive back into that world before the sequel hits.
And in case you missed it, GameSpot’s take on Dragon’s Dogma II combat preview was pretty hype. They mentioned it feels like an old friend, especially when you’re in the thick of battle, grappling with giant beasts. Sounds like a wild ride, doesn’t it?
