As spotted by industry analyst Benji-Sales (based on SteamDB data), the peak Concurrent Players count for Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is back at launch levels with over 6500 players playing the game on Steam – numbers that we haven’t seen since the game’s launch month back in January of 2016. In addition to the announcement of Dragon’s Dogma 2, the current sales promotion for the game has likely helped to spark player interest in the 6-year-old title. “Dragon’s Dogma hit its highest peak Concurrent Players count on Steam in 6+ Years today thanks to the announcement of Dragons Dogma 2 and going on sale for $5”, the analyst wrote on Twitter. “It reached 6,500+ players which hasn’t happened since February 2016.” After an initial player peak of more than 27.000 players on launch day, the peak Concurrent Players count for Dragon’s Dogma dropped to an average of 1000-2000 players on a daily basis. It’s good to see this gem back on the radar and we can’t wait for more information about its sequel. Dragon’s Dogma 2 was finally officially announced last week during a special celebration stream for the franchise. Aside from revealing that the sequel is currently in development and that it will run in Capcom’s own RE ENGINE, no further details were shared. News Source: Thanks VGC
