Spotted and shared by VGC on March 28, the Dragon’s Dogma 2 survey will run until April 21 and, for the most part, asks fairly typical questions, like which platform you bought the game for and what motivated you to buy it. The standout question, though, is whether you’d be interested in seeing post-launch DLC for the game.

In particular, Capcom is curious to know what sort of content you’d want to see in any Dragon’s Dogma 2 DLC and how much you’d be willing to pay for it. The lowest price range suggested is upwards of $9.99, while the highest range is anything over $50. For what it’s worth, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is already $70, making it the most expensive game Capcom’s ever sold.

While this survey doesn’t guarantee any such DLC is in active development, the fact that Capcom’s broaching the subject suggests it’s at least considering it. It’s also possible that a DLC is already on its way, and the company wants to gauge how much it can sell it for before landing on a price. A rumor shared on Reddit on March 27 has claimed a full-fledged expansion, titled The Dragon Princess, is in the works, but you probably shouldn’t put too much stock in it: Aside from a lack of supporting evidence, the rumor originates from 4chan, which has never been the most accurate of sources.

It’s barely been a week since Dragon’s Dogma 2‘s launch, and Capcom hasn’t shared any sales figures. Given the extremely positive critical reception and its cracking into Steam’s top sellers in just a day, though, it’s safe to assume it’s a sales success, which would encourage them to support it with DLC. There was a severe backlash against the launch day microtransactions, which let you purchase in-game items and resources with real money, but a substantial expansion would likely be a different story.

If you’d like to take the survey yourself, you can do so via this Capcom link, and completing it will net you a digital Dragon’s Dogma 2 wallpaper.
