Capcom have announced via Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu the much rumoured Dragon’s Dogma Online. It will be a free-to-play game for PS4, PS3 and PC and released in Japan later this year, with no current plans for a Western release but recent trademark registrations suggest something will be announced in the future.
Gameplay will be based around parties of four, with AI or other players controlling your teammates. It sounds like standard monster hunting fare, you select a class, create a characer and work together to take down something large and angry, over and over. Having mastered the format with the Monster Hunter series Capcom have good pedigree in the genre, but we’ll see how they handle free-to-play hooks which will make or break the experience for many players.
