After “Dragon’s Dogma 2” was released last year, although its sales were impressive, it was criticized by players for issues such as performance, fast travel, and career balance. Many people originally thought that Capcom had planned to release the game. Unexpectedly, the official recently revealed that in fact, about six months after the game was launched, the development of “Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen” (Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen/Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen) has been quietly launched. The purpose is to respond to the large number of opinions and criticisms from players.
Capcom quietly making DLC?
Kento Kinoshita, the director in charge of “Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen”, said that the team began planning the expansion pack six months after its release, hoping to respond to the “very enthusiastic” feedback from players. He admitted that the various suggestions and criticisms raised by players were important reasons for the birth of “Dark Arisen”, so the team has been thinking about how to turn “Dragon’s Dogma 2” into a more complete work through large-scale expansion content.
From being criticized to wanting to restore its reputation, Capcom is fighting hard this time!
In fact, Capcom has launched a number of updates for “Dragon’s Dogma 2” in recent months. It not only improves performance and adjusts game balance, but also removes some paid DLC and provides permanent price reductions, hoping to regain the trust of players. In addition to adding new maps, dungeons and system content, the upcoming “Dark Arisen” is also regarded by many players as the key to truly “turning around” this game.
It can only be said that when many game companies face negative reviews now, their first reaction is either to pretend not to notice, or to issue a perfunctory announcement. But Capcom has at least chosen to turn player complaints into updated content. As for whether “Dragon’s Dogma 2” can successfully reverse its reputation like the original “Dark Arisen”, it depends on whether this expansion pack brings back what players really want.
