The miscommunication likely just boils down to something even simpler. As aevanko points out:
When it's just an "undisclosed" release, it just means something that didn't have an actual date attached. Which technically, has been Dragon's Dogma 2's lot in life for the time being (the Saudi and PEGI things not-withstanding).
So, sorry to my MH6 hopefuls, my Rockman Taisen warriors and whatever, but the simplest answer is indeed the right one here.
Let Itsuno and DD2 have their time, for now!

I think it had a good chance to come on Switch successor. Just a hunch.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Not that I don’t think it’ll come. Just a shame I have to ignore the game’s launch to wait for a hypothetical Switch 2 version.
Wouldn’t be the first time I waited - had a PS4 Pro and still readily waited on DQXIS on Switch. Hope we see a port within the year, as opposed to years later.

I think they will do the date + online open beta, but I would love a demo.
I was told the word was mihappyou which means unnannounced. Mikoukai would be undisclosed. which is not the word they used from what I heard. can someone link the actual thing.

Granted, I don't need to see anymore. But any appearance of a monk type vocation, or return of the alchemist from DDO would just make me so happy!

This game is weird because it was in development forever and forever, but looks super unambitious and low budget.
Kind of Starfield esque in how dated it seems despite how long it was in development.
Like Starfield (and KH3 too though KH3 had other areas that seemed big budget), the biggest issue is that the game seems to have a large story focus, but the story seems incredibly bad, with the worst cutscene direction and VA direction possible.

Missed the showcase ... but given it's out in about 4 months, i might as well go in blind.
The game is a day one purchase no matter what.

Yeah...Mystic Spearhead was a vacation I had my eye on since its reveal, and this only helps make its case for a first playthrough!
You'd probably do better to compare this to Itsuno's other series, Devil May Cry.
Significantly upgraded iteration that builds upon the past game, the story and its characters will be serviceable, combat looks amazing and the overall vibe seems to be that it'll finish the business they didn't really get to accomplish before.
Which bodes especially well for Dragon's Dogma 2, because there was, infamously, a LOT they didn't get to do more than a decade ago. ("Possible" spoilers for a hint of what they may do this time around, I guess.)

Is this really the game Itsuno always wanted to do when it's a story-heavy fantasy game with cutscenes and VA that look like they're from the PS2 (and not a good PS2 RPG).
So close to the prior game in terms of... everything while not having the money to actually execute the vision that well is a very weird combo. It just looks like a very cheap remake.

Imma stop you right there, chief.
DD has quite a bit of interesting lore, and the characters you meet along the way, too, can have interesting/fun arcs.
But even accounting for "the twist" that occurs, I would not say at all that DD had much of a story. In the same way that DMC doesn't have much of a story. Or that no MH game has much of a story. If that's what you're after, then I feel safe in saying you'll inevitably be disappointed with Dragon's Dogma 2.
The combat/physics sandbox, huge boss encounters and moment-to-moment gameplay are the main draws here, and that's on full display with the post-showcase with Kit, Krysta and SuperRAD.

I don't think the colossus area looked super polish but at least previous gameplay looked pretty good visually to me, to the point where it seemed like one of the best RE Engine showcases in a while. The environmental detail particularly at long ranges is pretty impressive, especially with it having more to handle than something like Rise to boot.
It wasn't in development for long, Itsuno's team makes Devil May Cry. It's only been in development since around 2019.
I haven't caught up with the showcase yet (just started it) but this is a weird thing to say about Dragon's Dogma. Dragon's Dogma is not a story centric series at all, lol.
I do agree the fact that they haven't seemed to improve the story or cutscenes and that a lot of the it looks so similar to 1 is definitely a weird direction to go, but they actually have shown a decent amount of new monsters and classes, so I'm not sure if it's just the marketing being weird. To be fair, people like the bad voice acting in Dragon's Dogma.

Dragon's Dogma is:
Lots of jaaaaaaaank that makes a huge part of it's charm
If DD2 is the same, but in bigger, i'm already satisfied. ^^
- A servicable plot (hey it's better than FE Engage ones!)
- A near unlimited source of memes
- Gameplay that's simply fun

I once bought Dragon's Dogma on Xbox 360 only to have access to the Resident Evil 6 demo. I never played the game. That said, all this does look really cool.

Paid PS Plus/Xbox Live wasn't required for pawn sharing and online Ur-Dragon (i.e., all the online features) in Dragon's Dogma 1/Dark Arisen. Hopefully that's maintained in the sequel, but do we have any indication that anything is locked behind paid services this time around?

IGN continues their monthly overview of the game with a demonstration of the new Trickster vocation.
If you want to play a class that embodies the basics of a summoner, but with looney toons antics hilarity included, this might be the vocation for you!

Another day, and another delightful update!
Optional content in action-rpgs like this is always good, even better when it's unique boss monsters like this! Just peep the vid for more! Itsuno and co. proving again that they understand the assignment.
And some bonus content!

After Team Ninja ruling the roost with one of the best char creators in the biz (Nioh 2, Wo Long, etc.), it's great to see Capcom come through with a creator that already puts their previous efforts in MHRise and SF6 to shame.

He's right, but DD1 suffered from bad/boring design in parts, too. Let's see how DD2 handles it.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 Director Explains Why Less Fast Travel Can be a Good Thing - IGN
In a new IGN First interview, Dragon's Dogma 2 developers Hideaki Itsuno and Kento Kinoshita explained its unique approach to fast travel, and why relying too heavily on the mechanic can be harmful.

And here we are! Yesterday's State of Play provided us with another tasty update. Tomorrow should be another busy day as more previews start pouring in.
So, what was on display this time around was a new Vocation named "Warfarer". This new class is basically akin to the "Onion Knight" and "Freelancer" classes over in Final Fantasy, where you get more out of the class by putting in time in the other Vocations will benefit you in Warfarer, because you can mix and match skills and spells as you like...albeit with lower base stats compared to the "pure jobs". I think this is more than worth the price of admission to make up for the loss of classes like Strider, not to mention whatever else your imagination may cook up!
Other details that were shared on the website relate to such things like the "Dragonsplague" and the mysterious dragon that was shown in the trailer!
An interesting snarl for risk-reward when it comes to hiring out Pawns? Might these corrupted Pawns eventually turn into these "plague dragons" that you have to fight against? Can even your own Pawn that serves at your side be corrupted in this way? Your guess is as good as mine!
Finally, the website has a few profiles on "Vocation Maisters", who are the masters of their respective Vocation, and will even hook you up with spells/techniques if you complete their quests.
What's this? Not one, but TWO cool character designs for black men in MY medieval fantasy game!? You and your team spoil me, Itsuno-san! Way to kick of Black History Month!
Hopefully, I or someone else will upload those previews and impressions as they come in!

I'm playing Street Fighter 6 right now and damn if Dragon's Dogma 2 even ends up being a fraction as good then we'll really be in for a treat. We really are living in some kind of golden era of Capcom
