Dragon's Dogma 2, which is scheduled for release this fiscal year, will be priced at $69.99. Industrywide development costs are rising, and we are considering a price review as one option. Ultimately, we intend to take a thoughtful approach in pricing our games while ascertaining user feedback.

Thoughtful approach in this case is taking the development cost into consideration and rising wages for workers (at least they state so). But yeah, the price is going to go up even more

They could do what the supermarkets are doing: raise prices while blaming it on increased labor costs as they lay off workers and cut salaries.

Yeah, that's what I would expect, too

Bruh the game dev market is abusive enough as is. Don't give them ideas.
