“Sorry to have kept you waiting!” Itsuno said at the end, cueing the gang to whip off their tops and reveal sequel surprise shirts. “Dragon’s Dogma 2 is currently in development! Everyone in the development team is hard at work creating a game that we hope you will enjoy! Please look forward to it!”
That’s all they have to say about the new game, but do check out their chat about the old game. Readers in the UK might be particularly interested in their excitement about a visit to Wales, where the countryside inspired their landscape.

“It feels less like a console port than a game that has magically landed on my PC having fallen through a timewarp at the bottom of a bargain bucket in an alternate dimension’s equivalent of CEX,” Adamsaid. “And that’s probably one of the reasons I’ve warmed to this ridiculous game so quickly. It’s ramshackle in a way that somehow seems accomplished - great energies and talents directed toward the creation of something that is rough around the edges and right through to its core, but packed with more personality and punch than many a perfectly formed and polished artifact.”
