Dragon’s Dogmahas shipped over a million copies worldwide, prompting Capcom to put its faith behind the IP and declare it the beginning of a major franchise. Now we can look forward toDragons Dogma: Operation Gran SorenandDragon’s Dogma Arcade Edition! Oh, the sweet exploitation.
“Dragon’s Dogmaset a new record in Japan for sales volume of an entirely new brand in its first week for releases during the past decade. Worldwide shipments have surpassed one million,” stated the publisher.“As a result,Dragon’s Dogmahas become Capcom’s 55th title to top the one million level, demonstrating once again that Capcom ranks among the world’s leading game producers in terms of technical and development skills.”
Capcom says it wants the series to become “another pillar of earnings,” which means it wants to release a bunch of sequels, and has also hinted at more downloadable content for the original game, since it clearlyhasn’t had enough yet.
Sarcasm aside, I am glad to see the game did well. It was full of great ideas that were offset by a few very noticeable problems, and I’d be very interested to see a sequel that addresses those setbacks.
