OSAKA: Capcom Co., Ltd. announced on Tuesday that the worldwide sales of Dragon’s Dogma 2 surpassed 2.5 million units.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is the latest game in Capcom’s beloved action RPG series. 

Coming twelve years after the original, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is an action game set in a sprawling open world with a high degree of freedom. The game allows players to enjoy an intricately crafted, all-too-real fantasy setting while providing a taste of adventuring in a group of up to four people all while playing solo thanks to AI-controlled pawn characters that act as travelling companions.

Capcom carried out various global-facing promotional activities with the aim of attracting not only long-time fans of the series but newcomers as well, including the launch of a free application that let users create their player avatars prior to the game’s release, as well as in-game pawns made in collaboration with celebrities in various countries and Japanese national athletes.

Capcom remains firmly committed to satisfying the expectations of all stakeholders by leveraging its industry-leading game development capabilities in order to create highly entertaining gameplay experiences.

The Dragon’s Dogma series consists of action games in a fantasy setting where players adventure in an expansive open world of swords and magic. Since the release of the first game in 2012, the series has garnered worldwide praise for gameplay features such as its “pawn” adventure companions who can carry out actions on their own, leading the series to exceed 10 million units sold cumulatively.

Founded in 1983, the company has created hundreds of games, including the groundbreaking franchises Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Street Fighter, Mega Man, Devil May Cry, and Ace Attorney.
