DRAGON'S DOGMA 2 SMASHES 13 OF ORIGINAL SALES IN 1 WEEK

Capcom's latest action RPG, "Dragon's Dogma 2", has made a significant impact in its first ten days of release despite facing initial launch issues such as microtransaction controversies and performance difficulties on PC and consoles. With over 2.5 million units sold since its March 22nd debut, the game represents a significant portion of the original "Dragon's Dogma" lifetime sales, which were amassed across numerous re-releases over several years. While "Dragon's Dogma 2" falls short of the sales figures of Capcom's other smash hit, "Resident Evil 4 Remake", which sold 3 million units just two days after release, it still marks a considerable success. The uptake of the sequel is likely bolstered by its first proper patch, which included quality-of-life improvements and the anticipation of further updates to address performance issues. Gamers who have dived into the fantastical world of "Dragon's Dogma 2" can also find assistance through guides on quests like "Prey for the Pack" and other in-game elements such as Jadeite Orb location and forgery.

Upcoming patches for Dragon's Dogma 2 are expected to address CPU performance issues and deliver further optimizations and bug fixes to enhance the overall gameplay experience.

"Dragon's Dogma", released initially in 2012, became a cult hit with its unique blend of action RPG elements and its Pawn system that allows players to recruit AI companions shared by other players online. Based in a massive open world full of mythical beasts and challenging quests, the game garnered praise for its combat mechanics and deep character customization. The game's sequel "Dragon's Dogma 2" carries forward the franchise's legacy, expanding on its well-loved features while introducing new mechanics and a more engaging storyline.
