Nintendo Everything reports Capcom's Switch 2 Dragon's Dogma 2 port wasn't in the original plan

Nintendo Everything reported that Capcom later decided to bring Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen to Nintendo Switch 2, even though the project initially targeted existing platforms. Producer Naoto Oyama said the team only moved forward after testing Switch 2 compatibility on other internal projects.

The outlet says Capcom's Switch 2 version of Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen was added after the project had already begun. The report ties that shift to the team's broader evaluation of Switch 2 support across RE Engine projects.

Why this matters

For Switch 2 players, this suggests Capcom's support for the platform is expanding beyond one-off decisions. It also hints that more RE Engine games could follow if the company keeps seeing strong compatibility results.
