In August 2024, Dragon’s Dogma 2 director Hideaki Itsuno left Capcom after “30 years and five months” at the Japanese publisher. The legendary developer, responsible for creating Dragon’s Dogma and championing the Devil May Cry franchise, is practically synonymous with the former. It’s a well-known story that he originally conceived of the game around the time he was working on Devil May Cry in the early 2000s, and had to fight hard for time and budget when preparing the launch of the original Dragon’s Dogma game in 2012. In many ways, the 2024 launch of Dragon’s Dogma 2 felt like coming good on a promise nearly two decades in the making.
