Dragon's Dogma announced by Capcom

Capcom has just unveiled their latest game, which had been under wraps til the embargo lifted, called Dragon’s Dogma, which is a new open world action game for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 which can be best described as “Monster Hunter meets Lost Planet”. The game is being made by developers who worked on teams that created Resident Evil 4 and Devil May Cry 4.

The gameplay features hunters on the trail of a “mysterious dragon”, and as expected, they’ll have to deal with a bunch of hostile mythical creatures including goblins and griffons. Your NPC companions and you will acquire new skills and tactics depending on how you fight.

According to the presser: ”Bringing an unprecedented level of depth to the action genre, every decision has an effect on gameplay in an intuitive way that does not require micromanagement. The weight of your weapon, the material of your armor - even the length of your legs - plays a role in how you fight your battles, but does not interrupt the flow of the action.”

Dragon’s Dogma will be released in 2012. No other info is available yet.
