Capcom’s 2024 action RPG sequel Dragon’s Dogma 2 has reached a major sales milestone, as the studio has announced that the game has sold 4 million copies worldwide.
This comes via a post on the game’s official X/Twitter page, which read, “Thank you to the 4 million Arisen around the world! We’re grateful to share the immersive fantasy world of Dragon’s Dogma 2 with you all, where freedom and adventure await,” additionally noting that these figures are as of 5 November 2025.
This milestone is especially impressive considering it’s already half the lifetime sales of the game’s predecessor, 2012’s Dragon’s Dogma, which combined with its expanded edition, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen, took over a decade to reach, so the fact that its sequel took less than two years to hit the halfway point is a true testiment to the game’s success.
Unsurprisingly, fans took to social media to express their hopes for a Dark Arisen-style expansion for Dragon’s Dogma 2, begging Capcom not to abandon the game, which received its last update back in April this year. Judging by how well-received Dark Arisen was when it launched in 2013, it’s no wonder that fans wish for its sequel to get the same treatment.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 was released in March 2024, and although it was received well by critics, its appeal was hampered by a plethora of technical issues across PC and consoles, some that hasn’t even been fixed almost two years later, as seen by its current “Mixed” Steam review rating, with many players reporting that it feels unfinished and poorly optimised, some even accusing Capcom of abandoning the title.
By announcing its sales milestone, Capcom is at least acknowledging Dragon’s Dogma 2’s success and its fans. Whether this translates to more updates incoming to fix the game’s remaining issues, or even an expanded addition like Dark Arisen, that’s for the now 4 million Arise to wait an find out.
