Dragon's Dogma II will be Capcom's first current-gen, $70 release
The long-awaited sequel to Dragon's Dogma marks a turning point for Capcom as it goes all-in on current consoles and the new standard retail price for triple-A games.
When Dragon's Dogma II releases on March 22, 2024, it'll be the first $70 game from developer Capcom.
The Japanese studio held a livestream reveal for the sequel to the 2012 cult classic, revealing its price point not long after. Thus far, Capcom has stuck to the $60 pricing that was common for triple-A games for the last 15 years before Sony bumped up the price of its first-party titles with the launch of the PlayStation 5.
While some studios like 2K were quick to follow suit, others took their time in going up to $70. Ubisoft and Microsoft gave prior notice, revealing they'd increase price with specific games such as Starfieldand Skull & Bones(which, due to its repeated delays, has since been replaced with Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora).
