First launched in 2012, Dragon’s Dogma has a little bit of a cult following. Our very personal Adam Smith (RPS in peace) thought it was like playing an MMORPG full of wonderful idiots. Having stated that, in our Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen review, Richard Cobbett stated “it’s the least interested I’ve seen an RPG been in its own tale since… well, Fallout 4, but this game did get in there first.” I can’t think about a TV sequence would get too slowed down in sidequests, although – at the very least, I’d hope not.
Dragon’s Dogma game director Hideaki Itsuno revealed final yr that he had the chance to make a sequel, however choose to do Devil May Cry 5 instead.
