In May 2012, gamers were going crazy over Capcom‘s latest title. No, I’m not talking about a new installment of Street Fighter, Resident Evil, or Devil May Cry, but about Dragon’s Dogma, an action RPG where we had to seek and confront a powerful dragon that stole our heart (quite literally).
With gameplay inspired by the successful Dark Souls but adding countless completely innovative mechanics that would set a precedent in the coming years, both the game and its DLC, Dark Arisen, won the heart (metaphorically this time) of a gaming community grateful for a breath of fresh air.
After numerous requests and pleas to Capcom to continue the saga, it wasn’t until last year that the company announced Dragon’s Dogma 2 for 2024. Just a year later, we got a more in-depth look at how the game would shape up, including how some of its new vocations would function.
However, while many predicted we’d have to wait practically until late 2024 to try it, mostly due to the absence of a specific date, Dragon’s Dogma 2 might actually arrive in just a few months.
According to the Twitter account @VGAR_SA, the General Authority for Media in Saudi Arabia (GAMR) recently classified Dragon’s Dogma 2, giving it an age rating of +18. This not only suggests that the video game will contain violent scenes and other mature themes but also hints at an imminent release.
These suspicions align with information found in a Q&A session for investors by Capcom, where the company stated that an “unrevealed” title would be released by the end of their fiscal year, ending in March 2024. Yes, it could be another game we know nothing about yet, but in cases like this, the saying “where there’s smoke, there’s fire” tends to hold true.
