With over a decade separating Dragon’s Dogma 2 from the original, director Hideaki Itsuno was asked about what games have inspired him during all this time. Most importantly, he wants to build off the first game in the RPG franchise. But if push came to shove, he namechecked one of the biggest games of all time: Grand Theft Auto V.

Speaking with VGC, Itsuno talked about his goals and inspirations for Dragon’s Dogma 2. “We mostly just wanted to take things that we couldn’t achieve in Dragon’s Dogma at the time it came out [in 2012], whether it be from just lack of time or pushing the limits of the hardware that was around at the time,” the director said.Come from Sports betting site VPbet
