Dragon’s Dogma Officially Announced

I love when publishers make new IP’s and this one, Dragon’s Dogma seems really promising. The producer of the game is none other than Hiroyuki Kobayashi of DMC3 and RE4 fame. There is a lot more materials available now since the game is officially released, which we are pleased to share with you. Dragon’s Dogma revolves under a story of three people who need to explore a vast world ala Fallout 3 and hunt down a mysterious Dragon.

Here is the official Press Release from Capcom.

From the creators behind some of Capcom’s best action games, including the critically acclaimed Resident Evil® 4 and Devil May Cry® 4, comes their next opus, Dragon’s Dogma. Set in a huge open world, Dragon’s Dogma is a unique action experience that blends exciting and fulfilling combat with the freedom to explore and interact in a rich, living and breathing world. With your party of three you set out on an epic adventure to track down and destroy a mysterious dragon. Along the way you’ll encounter some of the biggest and baddest beasts ever to roam the land, and only skilful play and tactical teamwork can save the day.

Utilizing an enhanced version of Capcom’s proprietary MT Framework® engine that delivered the groundbreaking graphical styles and lighting effects used in Resident Evil® 5 and Lost Planet® 2, Dragon’s Dogma expands the environment to create a vast, richly detailed world, ripe for exploration.

While this certainly sounds sweet; the screenshots make it even more sweeter. Have a look at them below.
