Capcom's Dragon's Dogma 2 is set to arrive on various platforms on March 22, 2024, but you might ask if the Nintendo Switch is one of them. You may have previously embarked throughout Gransys as the Arisen and want to experience the follow-up title on your Nintendo hand-held console. A grand journey awaits you, Arisen, should you heed the call of your destiny.

Unfortunately, Dragon's Dogma 2 will not be coming to the Nintendo Switch. It's sad news for those Arisens looking forward to experiencing the upcoming RPG and embarking on an adventure throughout Gransys once more.

This article will explore why Capcom's latest title will not reach Nintendo's home console. Keep reading Arisen, and be careful of the wrath of the mighty Dragon.

The Switch is almost seven years old, and its hardware is outdated to support many modern video games. Dragon's Dogma 2 uses Capcom's in-house RE Engine, a game engine that has received praise for its ability to provide outstanding and realistic visuals.

The Switch's hardware is way too weak to render all the lighting, effects, and textures simultaneously. Hence, Capcom's latest RPG will not make its way to the console. The game may be launched on the rumored Switch 2 when the device sees the light of day.
