- Dragon Dogma 2 Producer Naoto Oyama says Performance mode will hit 60 FPS on console before dark arisen release
- Oyama says Switch 2 version will hit 30FPS and “even higher”
- Adds that Capcom’s RE Engine has been “an excellent choice” for Switch 2
Dragon Dogma 2 is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 later this year alongside the launch of its dark arisen expansion, and Capcom has been making some major improvements to the base game in preparation.
Speaking in an interview with Eurogamer about the process of porting the fantasy role-playing game (RPG) to Switch 2, producer Naoto Oyama said that Capcom’s RE Engine “has actually been a great fit for Nintendo Switch 2.”
He explained that the team has been able to use knowledge from previous Switch 2 ports, such as pragmatics and Resident Evil Requiemand the improvements made to the RE engine to create a solid port for Dragon Dogma.
“Because this is an internal problem [Capcom-owned] engine, we have been able to accumulate knowledge and experience from other teams,” said Oyama. “And that means that the improvements that are made to the engine with each title, and the different features that are added with new games, stay with us and we can benefit from them in future titles. “It’s a really positive cycle for us.”
The producer confirmed that the team has also been working to improve the game’s overall performance, not only on Switch 2, but also on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S launch platforms.
“In particular, we’ve been trying to find as many small tweaks as we can make so that we can build and have a big performance improvement on consoles when it comes to Performance Mode itself,” he said, adding that this will be a feature of the August title update, allowing the game to hit 60FPS in Performance Mode on console.
Oyama continued, confirming that the game can hit 30FPS on Switch 2 and “even higher” during many scenes.
“That means that, proportionally, all that effort we’ve put into the PS5 and Xbox Series
“So there’s a little bit of time until the game launches, but it’s exceeding our expectations on Switch 2, and I hope players will agree that we’ve done a great job again bringing this game to that platform.”
Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisenwhich features a new region, Norgan, new armor, weapons, dungeons and more, launches on October 9.
