Capcom invited Anime News Network to a preview event for two upcoming releases. Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen adds a winter-themed area and new bosses to the action RPG, playable on PlayStation 5 and Switch. Mega Man Dual Overdrive carries on the series formula with additions, though only one stage was shown. Both previews were brief but highlighted new content.
At a special preview event, Capcom showed off two upcoming projects, both brief but packed with new additions. Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is an extended release of the action RPG with a new winter-themed area and bosses. The preview allowed hands-on time with the PlayStation 5 and Switch versions, exploring the snow area and new dungeons. The comrade AI system proved intuitive, with allies healing, attacking from distance, or distracting enemies.
Mega Man Dual Overdrive was also on display, continuing the spirit of previous mainline entries while adding to the formula. The writer, a self-described novice to Dragon's Dogma but not to Mega Man, found the new boss encounters fun once they adapted. The preview left the writer wanting more from both titles, eager to explore what Capcom has planned.
