In Japan, Dragons Dogma Online, a new multiplayer online game from Capcom, currently hits like a belly-flopping dragon in the outdoor pool. In just 10 days, it has been downloaded over 1,000,000 times …
370,000 Heroes in 10 Days
With over 1 million downloads in just 10 days, Dragon’s Dogma Online definitely ranks among the surprise hits of the year in Japan. In the same period, 370,000 characters were created, who are now bustling around in the new world (which conversely means that over two-thirds of the players who downloaded it have not yet created a character … Japan indeed).
To celebrate the great success, Capcom is currently offering all players 72 hours of premium membership to fully test all the benefits of the additional subscription. Capcom emphasizes that Dragon’s Dogma is on track to become one of the “most important titles in the online business.”
The game was released simultaneously for PC, PS3, and PS4. If you want to try Dragon’s Dogma Online here, you are out of luck. The game has an IP block and only runs in Japan. Whether a localization for the western market is planned is still unknown.
Regarding the question, which genre to assign Dragon’s Dogma Online to, we have looked into this in more detail.
