From one Dragon-related title to another, the announcement of Dragon's Dogma II was one of 2023's most heart-warming moments.

The original Dragon's Dogma seemed doomed to be a cult classic, remembered only by a hardcore few. The 2012 JRPG quietly innovated the genre with its emphasis on real-time battles and groundbreaking Pawn system (Pawns being immortal, highly customizable and extremely chatty mercenaries for hire), but nobody seemed to take notice.

However, word slowly spread about Capcom's surprisingly excellent JRPG, and over the next ten years the game no-one bought at launch managed to sell over 2 million copies.

Dragon's Dogma II is a welcome validation for the original game, and if the sequel lives up to its predecessor - and early previews indicate it does just that - it'll hopefully sell well enough that we don't need to wait another ten years for the next one.
