According to developer and publisher Capcom, the recent open-world role-playing game (RPG)Dragon’s Dogma 2has managed to surpass 2.5 million units sold worldwide since its March 22 launch.
The information comes froma new press releaseposted to Capcom’s investor relations page, which communicates financial updates that are relevant to potential or current investors. The press release states that as of today (April 2), “worldwide sales ofDragon’s Dogma 2surpassed 2.5 million units.”
For comparison, the originalDragon’s Dogmasold 1.05 million units between its May 22, 2012 release date and the end of June that year according toprevious data. This was considered quite an unexpected success at the time, so it seems safe to assume that the strong sales ofDragon’s Dogma 2means that this sequel is also exceeding expectations.
The press release goes on to detail that sales of theDragon’s Dogmaseries as a whole, which includes recent re-releases likeDragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen, have now surpassed 10 million units.
Off to a flying start?
We were big fans ofDragon’s Dogma 2when it was released at the tail end of last month. In our glowingDragon’s Dogma 2review, Hardware Editor Rhys Wood awarded the game a rare four and a half stars out of five, calling it “challenging, thrilling, and constantly unpredictable.”
Even so, he noted some performance issues such as an uneven framerate while testing the game on PlayStation 5. Such problems were even more common on PC, leading to a backlash that quickly prompted Capcom toacknowledge its poor performance and promise future patches.
The ability to purchase some rare items with real-world money via downloadable content (DLC) add-ons has also proved controversial, prompting modders toprovide players with a fast pass on rare itemsin order to mitigate any perceived disadvantage that those who are unwilling to splash out might face.
