We already knew that Capcom's new RPG had fared well at the end of June, with the Japanese publisher had promised to "develop this entirely new brand into a major franchise".But this has now been reaffirmed by Capcom's April-June Financial Report , in which the publisher highlights the success of the game, describing it as "setting the stage for creating a series of titles".So what would a Dragon's Dogma sequel hold? In a recent interview with Famitsu (via Andriasang ), director Hideaki Itsuno revealed that the final game world was only two thirds of what he had originally imagined. He also wanted to let players create quests for themselves. So a bigger world with bespoke quests? Perhaps.Overall, Capcom's profits increased 300% to £11 million ($17 million) for the quarter, with total revenue of £151 million ($237 million).
