Dragon's Dogma 2 Release Date & Platforms Confirmed!
Dragon's Dogma 2 now has a confirmed release date of 22 March 2024. The game will be released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam.
How Long Has Dragon's Dogma 2 Been in Development?
Since Devil May Cry 5 was released in March 2019, the development of Dragon's Dogma 2 has likely been going on for over three years, as Hideaki Itsuno hasn't been named in any other projects.
We do need to consider that development might have only started after the release of Devil May Cry 5's Special Edition in November 2020.
The "10 Years of Dragon's Dogma" video above, which, in the end, features the long-awaited announcement from Hideaki Itsuno, which he dramatically takes off his jacket to reveal a Dragon's Dogma 2 t-shirt.
The only thing we know for sure is that the game IS in development, but at which stage of development remains uncertain. We can't help but wonder if we will hear more about Dragon's Dogma at The Game Awards 2022, taking place on 8th December.
Dragon's Dogma 2 Uses RE Engine
The RE Engine is an absolute beast of a development toolset that powers the likes of Devil May Cry 5 and Resident Evil Village.
Hideaki Itsuno's last game, Devil May Cry 5, was built on the engine to great success. Therefore, we are excited to share that RE Engine will be used for Dragon's Dogma 2, as per an announcement by the game's official Twitter account.
Dragon's Dogma 2 Dev Team
Apart from the legendary Hideaki Itsuno as the Dragon's Dogma 2 Game Director, a few other veterans appear to be returning to work on the sequel.
The original game's Art Director (Daigo Ikeno) and Level Designer (Kenichi Suzuki) joined Hideaki Itsuno in the announcement video, and they all looked super excited!
