Any news about the DLC?

[Corbie]

I want to return to the game and I'm interested to know if the DLC is coming in a few months or if there are any updates about it."

[Jamation]

Nothing official and the "leaks" on the dates about the supposed dlc are months passed now.

[Ryan Fenton]

Yeah - all the rumors are dead by now, and all the side indications (like hiring anything related to it) have been silent.

None of the quarterly finances have even mentioned the game, and the lead champion of the series (Itsuno) has been fired, and nothing but trite small-issue patches have been released since he was fired.

It looks from the outside at least a LOT more like the company sweeping the whole product line under the rug, than any further development in the short-to-medium term.

That's not to say they absolutely can't be hiring some outside team on the down-low or whatever, but from the condition of the current game, I don't think that would be a cheap project for a third party to pick up that code base, fix issues, then expand that gameplay when it's already buckling at the seams in terms of performance. Rather, it would be prohibitively expensive and prone to cancellation, so a big risk to even try.

There's just so many aspects of the game that seem like they tried to make a game comparable to the first game in terms of satisfying gameplay and just... made it worse in almost every aspect except texture resolution, and some animations. It was a bad design on a bad engine for the project.

And that's not even mentioning the PC port, which is just utterly underwhelming in terms of port quality and gameplay.

Shame, I really wanted DLC for this game.

I wouldn't throw in the towel just yet. I'd wait a few more months as CAPCOM DLC can historically take a year or so to release. Release date for DD2 was March 22, 2024.

DD2 made money for CAPCOM. Once the flurry of MH-Wilds dies down, if CAPCOM thinks they can make money with a DD2 DLC using their existing DD2 world, they may release one. Until a year plus has passed, it's all conjecture.

I hope so

DLC will come out eventually. The reception of this game was nowhere near as bad as some people on this forum make it out to be. Capcom already stated that they are considering it a success. Itsuno was not fired. He wanted to leave the company anyway. They probably agreed that Dragon's Dogma 2 would be his last game at Capcom. He is not needed for dlc. Dark Arisen was great without Itsuno leading development.

Good to hear, I thought the game was great. Definitely would like more of it.

Kento Kinoshita who did Dark Arisen and all of Dragon's Dogma Online co-directed DD2.
It shows in many aspects though people unaware might not realize.

But this fact alone is reason enough to believe CAPCOM has very much planned out the future of this franchise if DD2 was succesfull, And it is.

We might even get a new DD Online at some point, who knows.

[Davrel]

maybe we get news in a few months after MHW release

[Ryan Fenton]

As long as we're in pure fantasyland, let's just say in the future, all games will be Dragon's Dogma.

Then it'll be fine if Capcom just never makes anything with the title anymore.

Because you'll know in your heart that whatever idle clicker game you're playing at the moment is the 15235'th sequel to Dragon's Dogma.

Because if Dragon's Dogma 2 is considered a worthy sequel - anything can be considered a worthy sequel.

After all, we do know that Hello Kitty Island Adventure is the real upcoming sequel to the series.

(It's also a South Park spinoff)

You can ignore all Ryan Fenton posts. He's a well-known anti-DD2 advocate and has never posted anything positive about the game. Even has the typical hidden Steam Profile.

You got a weird obsession with me dude. You're free to have that - but it is real weird.
