Capcom makes the leap to $70 games with Dragon's Dogma 2

Capcom's upcoming and long awaited sequel Dragon's Dogma 2 will seemingly be the developer's first $70 title. Since the launch of the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, developers have slowly been transitioning from a $60 to a $70 price tag, often citing increased development costs as the reason behind the change. Looking at listings of Dragon's Dogma 2 on the PlayStation and Microsoft stores, it appears that Capcom is finally embracing that change right before it heads into a new fiscal year. Last night, Capcom officially confirmed that the game would be launching March 22, one of the studio's last big releases before the 2024-25 financial year kicks off. Now, to be clear, yes it's annoying that games are getting more and more expensive, especially when a lot of us are having to pinch our pockets a bit more. At the very least, though, Capcom does often hold some pretty hefty sales for its games post launch - Resident Evil 4 Remake, which only released back in March, was as much as 50% off for Black Friday, which you certainly can't be too upset about considering it's up for game of the year at The Game Awards.
