Capcom Hosting Dragon’s Dogma 10th Anniversary Broadcast Later This Week
Update [Mon 13th Jun, 2022 23:25 BST]: During the Capcom Showcase, it was announced there would be a special Dragon’s Dogma broadcast taking place on June 16th / 17th on YouTube. There’ll be all sorts of announcements, apparently. More information soon.
Original story [Tue 24th May, 2022 03:05 BST]: Capcom’s action RPG series Dragon’s Dogma today celebrates its 10th anniversary. Yes, it’s now been a decade since the original title was released on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Since then, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen has been released on multiple platforms including the Nintendo Switch in 2019.
As part of this milestone, Capcom has launched an anniversary website – with the series’ complete history, from the comics to the Netflix animated show, which made its debut on the streaming service in September 2020. As part of these celebrations, the game director Hideaki Itsuno has also shared a special message.
“Dragon’s Dogma, first released in 2012, is celebrating its 10th anniversary! Thank you, Arisen, for taking up arms and braving through the impossible challenges laid ahead of you. We are forever grateful for your support throughout the years and hope you will join us in this momentous celebration of Dragon’s Dogma!”
Here’s an anniversary movie to go with it (via Gematsu). Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is also currently 75% off on the Switch eShop in Japan. If we hear anything similar announced for the west, we’ll let you know.
Capcom hasn’t shared anything else just yet for this anniversary, but there have been some leaks suggesting something related to Dragon’s Dogma could be arriving in 2022 (it’s likely a sequel).
