Dragon ’s Dogmaas a serial publication has dominate 10 million full sales , and RPGs have always been popular throughout play ’s history , so there ’s no intellect to believe the enfranchisement wo n’t love proceed success . Even after almost twelve twelvemonth from the launching ofDragon ’s Dogma 1 , the serial ' fan still turn up in droves for the later entering . Story - wise , there are also place where Capcom could take a hypothetical sequel , given how the developers ended their newest plot .
A hidden mechanic in Dragon ’s Dogma 2 make it gentle to complete certain quests with a Pawn ’s help . Here ’s how to make utilization of a Pawn ’s noesis .
RPGs Are Eternal
Fantasy Has Been A Popular Genre
RPGs have always been popular , even before being introduced to a digital medium . FromDungeon ’s and DragonstoChrono TriggerandThe Witcher 3 , this genre in gaming has shown that it is here to stay , particularly in a mediaeval phantasy setting . Dragon ’s Dogmafills a niche that Capcom otherwise would n’t have . Its closest franchise to a knightly fantasy RPG would beMonster Hunter , but that series has formed its own sort of genre and lacks the questing , wandering and progress progression that gamers associate with modern RPGs .
It is n’t as though Capcom does n’t know how to wield long - standing dealership , either . Who ’s to say thatDragon ’s Dogmawill stop at three entries , and not continue onto figurative timelessness like other title , such asResident Evil?It is on the menu , especially leave thecyclical themes and patch of the series . In possibility , as long as the game itself can make the theme feel reinvigorated , the introductory premiss could stay the same from title to deed of conveyance , like with theMarioseries .
Hideaki Itsuno is the director ofDragon ’s Dogma . He also directed several other Capcom title , includingDevil May shout 2 - 5.His early work withStreet Fighterin the 90s shows his love for action games , an element that has been heavily praise inDD2 .

How Dragon’s Dogma 2 Sets Up DD3
Breaking Out Of The Cycle
Dragon ’s Dogma 2is not a traditional sequel . Realistically , it is more like a soft reboot , doing what its predecessor did but with greater polish and higher-ranking resources . No character return from the first game in the series , nor are any result acknowledged , other than that there is a cycles/second between the nefarious Dragon and the Arisen . Even story beats are identical in place , such as the Dragon abduct the thespian ’s romance choice or the highest kinship NPC .
DD3could continue this stem , make each deed of conveyance in the series another opposition between the Arisen and the Dragon , like how Link is always reincarnated to oppose a variant of Ganon in theZeldagames . This would only apply to the good and uncollectible finish ofDragon ’s Dogma 2,however , as the true termination revolves around break the cps . This allows Capcom to take the serial in a completely unlike direction , should it wish to carry on a narrative across several games .
It would be hard to make this metaphoric sequel feel likeDragon ’s Dogma , and there are ways of keep the position quo while also letting the true ending be , well , the unfeigned conclusion .

In the biz ’s truthful ending , the Brine , a mysterious phenomenon prevent swim and remote seafaring , vanishes once the bike of the Dragon and Arisen is broken . This means that the people of Vermund and Battahl can finally travel across the oceanand discover new domain . Perhaps seafaring and get a line new lands could be the crux of the next deed of conveyance , or one of these lands could provideDD3with a unequaled , young setting ? Exploration is already a huge part ofDragon ’s Dogma 2,after all .
What Can Be Expected From The Third Entry?
The Waters Are Clear
Assuming that it is happening , there are a lot of placesDD3could go . With people able to navigate in the world , sea travel could be one of the claim ’s big feature , travel from island to island with an Arisen as captain alongside a crew of Pawns . peradventure swimming will even be allowed for the first time , although that is assuming that the true ending is the one Capcom chose to run with when take a leak the next installment . There ’s even achance thatDD3is a prequel rather than a sequel .
Should the dependable ending be upheld , the hertz be broken , and Pawns are given costless will , the next title in the serial will end up being very different , tonally . The shift could be interchangeable to what FromSoftware did betweenDark Souls 1 & 2,creating a continuation that feels vastly different from its harbinger in a whole freestanding land . It would be unmanageable to make this metaphoric subsequence feel likeDragon ’s Dogma , and there are ways of sustain the status quo while also lease the lawful end be , well , the true conclusion .
utilise a parallel world is always an option for Capcom , ensuring that the cycle can continue for the next earthly concern while also allowing it to terminate in the land ofDragon ’s Dogma 2.Making a prequel would also allow for this as well , since prior cycles/second between the Dragon and Arisen have been hinted at . One such example is Lamond , the Warfarer Maister , who states that he was a failed Arisen who was unable to slay his dragon . This way , DD3can continue to feel like theDragon ’s Dogma , which earned a fast furore follow .
Like other Capcom titles , Dragon ’s Dogma 2uses the RE Engine , a powerful game railway locomotive in the beginning developed forResident Evil 7 : Biohazard . The engine was used previously byDD2’sdirector when he worked onDevil May Cry 5 .
A Dragon ’s Dogma 2 player place the plot ’s community on fire by share their discovery on how to unlock secret locations in the open man .
So, Should There Be A Dragon’s Dogma 3?
There’s A Good Chance There Will Be Either Way
There is n’t any ground for Capcom not to makeDD3.It continue to sell well , mean that there is a fiscal inducement for it . There is distinctly a desire from the developers to work on the series , chip in that it continued after 12 long year , andDragon ’s Dogma 2has done the groundwork to jell up its successor . Capcom nurtures its dealership well , and it could have another golden bozo on its hands with its fantasy RPG .
There are still plenty of things that could be add together toDD3,too . Elves becoming playable would be a nice addition since they technically are n’t ( even if the participant can give their Arisen pointy ears and teach their Pawn elvish ) . More vocations and enemy variety would be excellent , too , since some enemies , such as the Sphinx , have clearly had a lot of creativeness put into them inDragon ’s Dogma 2 . Should Capcom carry on to supportDragon ’s Dogma , they could have an RPG colossus in their roster , hold in heed next to iconic biz franchises likeThe WitcherandThe Elder Scrolls .
