The short version
- Given the game was subject to plenty of criticism for how it ran on both console and PC at launch back in 2024, the fact it can run on Nintendo's hardware at all feels like nothing short of a miracle.
- But it's not the first Capcom game to turn heads when arriving on Switch 2: Pragmata and Resident Evil Requiem both run flawlessly on the console , and even Monster Hunter Wilds is confirmed to launch on the device soon.
- Capcom is also planning to release a variety of updates ahead of Dragon's Dogma 2's DLC to firm up the foundations of the game, and it seems the included optimisation improvements will have a cumulative positive effect on all versions of the title.
What happened
Elsewhere in this same interview , Oyama and Kinoshita noted that "the best way to implement quality-of-life improvements? Don't impinge on the original experience, give the player more possibilities." They also chatted about following the legacy of Hideaki Itsuno , and how they feel the series is in safe hands, despite changes at Capcom.
