Another MMORPG is dying, and its death is already a done deal. It’s a shame, as many European fans had hoped to play Dragon’s Dogma Online.
The death of MMORPGs continues into 2019. The latest victim is Dragon’s Dogma Online. The title was especially popular in Japan, where the RPG Dragon’s Dogma also performed well. A European release of the game is likely now off the table, and the hopes of fans may be buried.
What was Dragons Dogma Online? In the past, we had reported several times about Dragon’s Dogma Online and its major updates, which introduced new classes and new raids. Dragon’s Dogma Online was not a typical MMORPG but rather an action online RPG. While you could meet other players in hubs and form groups, the majority of the game was experienced in small groups rather than with hundreds of others.
Back then, there were whispers that the game might someday make its way to the West. That dream is now likely a thing of the past, as the operator closes the game in its home country.
When does the game close? For Dragon’s Dogma Online, it will be over on December 5, 2019. Then the servers will be shut down, and the game will no longer be accessible. Another game joins the ranks of dying MMORPGs.
Fans hope for a better second part of the RPG: Meanwhile, the death of Dragon’s Dogma is a hot topic on Reddit. Some fans hope that Capcom will now focus its efforts on a “Dragon’s Dogma 2.” After all, the first part was quite popular and even made it to Europe – albeit as a single-player RPG. Here, a sequel is eagerly wished for.
Are you mourning the death of Dragons Dogma Online? Were you looking forward to the game? Or had you already written it off?
