Capcom appears to be gearing up for a Dragon's Dogma 2 demo release, as recent changes to Steam's backend suggest. This insight comes from a SteamDB log update and was initially noticed by an eagle-eyed Reddit user. The update introduced a new "Free on Demand" package for the game on Steam, a common marker for demos on the platform, as reported by PCGamesN.
Scheduled for a March 22, 2024, launch, Dragon's Dogma 2 is set to debut on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5. This action RPG sequel marks Capcom's entry into the $70 game market, hinting at a possible new pricing strategy for future titles. During a January earnings Q&A, Capcom discussed the rising costs of game development and the consideration of a price review post-Dragon's Dogma 2's release. "Industry-wide development costs are rising, and we are considering a price review as one option," Capcom shared with its investors, emphasizing a balanced approach to game pricing while taking player feedback into account.
In related news, Capcom recently conducted a survey asking players about their interest in sequels or remakes of various series, including Okami, Dead Rising, Dino Crisis, Final Fight, and Vs. Capcom. This move indicates Capcom's ongoing efforts to gauge player interest and potentially shape its future game development pipeline.
As anticipation builds for Dragon's Dogma 2, the possibility of a demo offers fans a tantalizing glimpse into what Capcom has in store for this eagerly awaited sequel. With the game's release just around the corner, the gaming community is abuzz with speculation and excitement for what could be another landmark title in the action RPG genre.
