That’s $70 for the base game, again - there’s also a deluxe edition of Dragon’s Dogma 2 with cosmetics and a gallery of music and sound assets that will sell for $80 or £65.98 on Steam. See all that for yourself on thestore page.
It’s far from the first game to break the $70 barrier - Sony’sGod of War Ragnarokand Warner’sGotham Knightswent for similar sums - and it sounds like Capcom have been weighing the benefits of making the jump for a while.
Elsewhere in the TGS presentation, Tsujimoto suggested that publishers can get away with raising prices even during rough economic times, because people need their creature comforts. “Just because there’s a recession doesn’t mean you won’t go to the movie theater or go to your favorite artist’s concert,” he noted. “High-quality games will continue to sell.”
Is Dragon’s Dogma 2 a high-quality game?I enjoyed what I played of it a month or two back, but I also found it extremely familiar, whether in terms of aesthetics, the RPG classes or the core loop of starting unwinnable fights with griffons and letting your hapless AI pawn accomplices take the fall.
