Dragon's Dogma will become a "major franchise" for Capcom, it has been revealed.

The action adventure game has become the 55th Capcom game to ship more than one million units, according to VG247.



It also set first-week sales records in Japan, becoming the best-selling new property launch in ten years.

It failed to top the charts in the UK, however, releasing the same week as Ghost Recon: Future Soldier.

Dragon's Dogma's story centres around The Arisen, a hero whose fate is tied to a powerful dragon that terrorises the land.

The game sees players adventure across an expansive open world, fighting huge mythical creatures such as a hydra, a manticore and a griffin.

Players are also accompanied by pawns - companion characters who the player can give commands to and use to coordinate attacks.

The game was created by a team that worked on some of Capcom's biggest titles, including Devil May Cry 3, Devil May Cry 4 and Resident Evil 4.
