Dragon's Dogma 2 Director Defies

In a thrilling exchange with VG247, Hideaki Itsuno, the visionary behind Dragon's Dogma and its highly-anticipated sequel, Dragon's Dogma 2, ignites a fiery debate. Itsuno, like a seasoned dragon-slayer, challenges the long-standing perception of the original RPG as a mere "cult" classic. With a sword forged in confidence, Itsuno declares that the franchise has soared to such heights of success and adoration that it has outgrown such limiting labels.

 

From Niche Gem to Global Phenomenon

Once lurking in the shadows, Dragon's Dogma emerged from its slumber in 2012, casting its spell on gamers worldwide with its enchanting blend of fantasy and action. Like a phoenix, it rose from humble beginnings on the PS3 and Xbox 360 to conquer new realms on platforms ranging from the PS4 to the Nintendo Switch. With over 7.9 million copies sold, its journey mirrors the epic quest of its heroes, transcending boundaries and capturing hearts across the globe.

Yet, amidst the triumphs, Dragon's Dogma harbors a mysterious allure, often shrouded in the enigmatic cloak of a "cult" hit. Itsuno beckons us into the realm of innovation, where the game's revolutionary mechanics, from the ingenious Pawn system to the adrenaline-fueled 'grab' feature, stand as testaments to its greatness. Yet, like an unsolved riddle, Dragon's Dogma's cult status persists, fueled by an army of unwavering fans who sing its praises across the digital landscape, weaving tales of adventure and camaraderie.

As Dragon's Dogma 2 looms on the horizon, a new chapter of the saga awaits. With Itsuno's clarion call against the constraints of cult classification, and the franchise's meteoric rise to prominence, the sequel stands poised to ignite a blaze of excitement in the hearts of gamers worldwide.
