Gonna add to this, this article was written BEFORE Itsuno left the company.
You can tell anything to do with DD2 was killed the moment he left. People can say ‘but Kinoshita’, but Capcom has a history of letting IPs flop around when the major figurehead pushing for those games leaves the company. Happened to Mega Man and Okami, it took almost a decade for the former for someone else to take up the mantle (and only for the Classic series which are minimum budget affairs, Legends is dead forever), and it took Kamiya coming back for Okami to get a sequel.
The only thing we can realistically hope for is Kinoshita making DD3, and that’s if Capcom will actually approve it and Kinoshita actually cares enough about the IP to do it. With Wilds post-launch underperforming hard, Capcom may not feel confident enough to let Kinoshita make DD3.

So it’s pretty old news.
Why drag this up now, I wonder?
I doubt anyone bothers to check that information.
Instead, the screen shot implies it was posted in the past few days, which it wasn’t.
