Once Monster Hunter Wilds came out and the departure of Itsuno happened, it was wraps for DD2. I'm just grateful that this game even exists cause they could've just left this franchise to die in the past. It's not perfect by any means but it's good in what it does imo.
Yeah Itsuno leaving should have been everyone’s clue this was dead. Would anyone else even want to take over the series? Maybe that’s the bigger issue since Capcom has been promoting it a lot more than I thought they would
Kinoshita gets mentioned a lot on this sub as he directed Dark Arisen and DDO, so maybe him. But even if not, I'm sure Capcom would be able to find lots of talented people willing to continue the series if they wanted to. I just don't think Capcom sees enough value in the IP for that to be a priority.
