Capcom is bringing frame generation to Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen on Nintendo Switch 2, the first Capcom game on the console to use the tech. The game targets 30 FPS, with frame generation on, extra frames are created so it looks and feels closer to 60 FPS. Producer Naoto Oyama said the tech “calculates and interpolates ‘what would happen if there was a frame here’ between frames.” Capcom admits there can be slight ghosting when the system struggles with certain scenes, but says this is uncommon in normal gameplay. Players can turn frame generation on or off. Oyama said the tech is already quite commonly used in PC games, but this is Capcom’s first time bringing it to Switch 2.

Capcom showed a new look at the Monster Hunter Ascendance expansion and its new monsters. The new Skybound Eyrie area looks heavily focused on vertical exploration, and Seikret can fly. This will make the game really different in the new area

Capcom is reviewing difficulty in Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance. Director Takuro Hiraoka said Wilds was made more accessible for newer players after many dropped Monster Hunter: World before finishing the story because difficulty ramped up too quickly. Capcom did not expect Wilds players to get this good. “We had a bit of a gap in expectations. Maybe players got better than we expected,” Hiraoka said. For Ascendance, Capcom wants the main story to stay accessible while making the endgame much tougher for players who want a serious challenge. “We expect that if you purchase the DLC, you’re going to want to see as much of the story that we’ve presented as possible.” The really difficult content will be pushed into the endgame.

Capcom says players in Japan and the West had very different opinions about Dragon’s Dogma 2. The developers said the feedback was “diametrically opposite,” especially when it came to some of the game’s more frustrating mechanics. For example, players in Japan and Asia were more likely to see things like travelling on foot and Dragonsplague as inconveniences. Players in Europe and North America were more likely to see them as “friction” that made the game more interesting. Because of this, Capcom says it has tried to give players more options in Dark Arisen instead of simply removing mechanics that some people dislike. One example is the new equipment transmog system, allowing players to change their character’s appearance without changing their equipment.

Capcom has removed Denuvo from the PC version of Dragon’s Dogma 2 and replaced it with another DRM system. People are reporting massive performance gains thanks to the update too

Capcom says Dragon’s Dogma 2 is running better on Nintendo Switch 2 than the team expected. Producer Naoto Oyama said the game is “exceeding our expectations” and that it often runs at more than 30 FPS. He explained that the performance improvements made for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of the game also helped the Switch 2 version, leading to better results than the team originally predicted. Oyama also said the RE Engine has been “a really great fit” for Nintendo Switch 2. Because Capcom develops the engine in-house, every improvement made for one game can be used in future projects, creating what he called “a really positive cycle” for the studio.

Capcom says it’s “quite confident” that Onimusha: Way of the Sword will offer a solid challenge in the full game after many players felt the demo was “too easy.” Producers Akihito Kadowaki and director Satoru Nihei explained that the demo takes place early in the game and was “custom built” to give Musashi skills players would normally unlock later, which combined to make it “easier than it should be.” They added that if every enemy was difficult, “it would lead to stress” for some players, but promised tougher enemies and said there will “definitely” be something for players looking for a bigger challenge.
