Just recently, Capcom showcased a 10th Anniversary video for Dragon's Dogma, featuring game director Hideaki Itsuno as he recounts the creation of the action RPG. Toward the end, Capcom announced what pretty much everyone was expecting it to announce: that Dragon's Dogma 2 is now in development. Wahoo!
No platforms have been confirmed for the game at the time of writing; in fact, very little has been revealed of the project bar the fact that Capcom is now working on it. So that's, uhh... cool? It's one of those announcements that we're undoubtedly grateful to have received, but at the same time, in this writer's opinion, maybe sit on it for a bit until there's something substantial to show?
Nevertheless, we're itching for Dragon's Dogma 2 to release on the Switch; so much so, in fact, that the lovely Zion and Kate have gotten together to discuss the game and whether it might come to Nintendo's console in a brand new video, so check it out below and be sure to let us know your own thoughts on the matter!

Do you think we'll see Dragon's Dogma 2 on the Switch? It seems unlikely, sadly, but maybe on the Switch's eventual successor..? Who knows! Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Oh don't worry, it'll come over.
....as a cloud version 🥲
By the time it comes out the next gen Nintendo console will more than likely already be out as well, so maybe?
You think it would run on the switch? If it does come to the switch or switch successor then it will be a cloud version
Just no! DD2 is next gen already so get over it. The first one was hard enough to port over.
If the game was coming next year Switch and/or PS4 and XB1 versions should be available but the game is years away. The next generation of consoles will be easier to find and buy and a game of this scope should not have old hardware as target platforms.
Although I won't ever buy anything other than a Nintendo console anymore, mostly due to time restrictions, I sometimes wish Nintendo would invest a bit more into the system's power. I hope the Switch successor will at least be on par with the PS5 so we won't have to miss out on some great games. On the other hand, we all know Nintendo does whatever the hell they want, so I doubt we'll ever see this game in any other form than a cloud version, which I refuse to buy. Or we simply have to wait 10+ years for a remastered version on the Switch 3
Ok just do a demake and make it a 2D Metroidvania.
I'd buy it.
The game is years away so i highly doubt its coming to last gen systems and i really hope it doesn't, it may come to Switch 2 but this Switch? No chance thank god.
@UltimateOtaku91 if it comes to the successor, it'll have even fewer excuses to go cloud. And by "if" I mean "when", because the game doesn't even have a release date and may well be out after or around the time Nintendo ushers in Gen 10.
This article is acting like the game comes out this month 🤡
@Freek Funny you should say that. A few years ago they were working on one for the vita. It got cancelled about a year after but it would have been in interesting take on the dragon's dogma universe.
Dragons Dogma 2 has ZERO chance for Switch.
My guess is that Capcom would not want to have it held back by underpowered hardware. PS5 and XSX/S it is.
So if you really what the game, then get a PS5 or XSX/S. And blame Nintendo for having underpowered hardware because it won’t be on the platform
Line it's been said by others, we'll be on the next console by the time this releases. Whether that will be powerful enough is another matter. As much as I like the Switch, I honestly just wish they would go in a more traditional direction, but the Japanese market is likely preventing that.
There's no chance DD 2 will be on Switch. I would imagine that game won't arrive until maybe early 2024. I highly doubt there will even be a PS4 version.
By the time it comes out, Switch's successor may be on the market. I could see it going there.
I don't like muddy textures, pop in and choppy framerates in ports. Switch is so last- last-gen, it's better that new games are made bespoke for the console or are tailored ports of generations old classics.
Not ultra mega desperate but I expect a port of this on the Switch 2 or Switch Advance further down the line. Way after it gets released on the latest PSBOX consoles.
I have been a Nintendo owner for quite some time and let me share my experience. It has always been like this with Nintendo. A low-powered system with badly designed controls to increase profits. I do praise the first party titles and the Switch. It’s an amazing handheld device and concept. And if it wasn’t for it, we would not have the Steam Deck. That’s why I believe the Steam Deck is here to stay when more people realize the possibilities with it. So don’t wait on it, the best console is to own a PC. Getting your favorite game is just a matter of time and you get the best version, plus cheaper games(Steam sale right now). I think I’m not alone in this sentiment. Let’s teach this company (Nintendo) that we the users are in control and not them. I will keep my Switch for the next Zelda, Mario, and party games but only for that.
Tell Nintendo to release more powerful hardware?
It wont come to Switch. Unfortunately.
Looking at how Capcom operates, it will be a 9th gen exclusive.
Capcom, please put The Disney Afternoon Collection on Switch.
The Switch already hit it's maximum potential so unless a next gen Switch comes out don't expect any more impossible ports.
Ha! As if they would. By the time the game comes out we’ll likely be fully into the 9 gen, with last gen support being dropped, as we’ve seen that starting to happen already.
You’d be better off hoping Nintendo’s successor console matches that of the current gen. Or hope that Capcom make a “DD:Rise” for Switch hardware.
Lol we need a Super Switch 2 Pro stat. The gap is growing wider faster. DD2 is not coming to this system.
Don't worry it'll be on the steam deck
@UltimateOtaku91 dragons dogma 2 is using the same engine that monster hunter rises uses so yeah switch could handle this game.
I'd love to see it, and the RE Engine worked beautifully with Rise, but since we never got ports of the recent RE games, I'm not sure how good it is at scaling between platforms. If the port of the original did well enough, that might have convinced them to plan for a Switch version from the start. For now, though, I'm not getting my hopes up.
it will take at least 3 years maybe longer before dragon dogma 2 comes out by that time a new switch is already here..
This gen has already been held back at least 2 years due to covid and excuses, it's about time we stopped holding it back further wishing for new games to be released on platforms that are effectively 2 generations out of date...
@Royalblues Wow, it's actually a pretty accurate description of Nintendo situation right now !
I hope that if they make a switch two it has at least enough power to be able to run next gen games that requires very high bandwidth
And lots of VRAM... But yeah like you say it'll always be the toned down version of a next gen console game... The only game that still keep the switch interesting nowadays are exclusively Nintendo games... (And little kids)
@RiasGremory yeah but it's not the same version. I don't think you really understand engine development pipeline. Resident evil 2/3/7/8 are using RE Engine, and yet they could never be ported to switch. MH Rise use the RE engine yes, but a heavily modified version of it that have been striped down to the bare minimum and optimized exclusively for this game and platform...
Saying that because it's the same engine, it will run is not really accurate... Hundred of PS4/XBOX One games are using Unreal Engine, some Switch game are using it too, and yet you don't see all those games on Switch.
Yaaaasssssss!!!
