Dragon’s Dogma 2’s post-launch addition of microtransactions vexed a fair few people, but in spite of backlash from the community, the open world action RPG has got off to an impressive start. In addition to widespread acclaim, it has also seen sales in impressive numbers right out the gate.
Capcom has announced that Dragon’s Dogma 2 has sold over 2.5 million units worldwide across all platforms. The game launched a week and a half ago, on March 22, so the early momentum its sales have exhibited is certainly impressive. The company also confirms that the cumulative sales for the Dragon’s Dogma series have now surpassed 10 million units.
It was recently also reported that Dragon’s Dogma 2 enjoyed the biggest launch of 2024 for new game in the UK. In Japan, the game debuted at second place in the weekly physical sales charts.
Capcom released the first update for Dragon’s Dogma 2 last week, adding 30 FPS cap option, toggles for ray tracing and motion blur, and more. The company recently also sent out surveys, with questions inquiring about interest in potential DLC for the open world action RPG.
In our review of the game, we awarded it a score of 10/10, saying, “Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a landmark release for open world action RPGs. From its thoroughly immersive world and its stellar combat to the incredible emergent gameplay its bevy of systems enable, Capcom’s long-anticipated sequel delivers spectacularly in more ways than one. By definition, it’s going to turn some people off with its many eccentricities, but it’s those eccentricities exactly that make it such an utterly unique and unforgettable experience.” Read the full review through here.
