Dragon's Dogma 2 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth are easily two of the most anticipated titles of 2024 — and they'll be here before you know it. Expectations are sky high for both action RPGs given previous efforts, and so to get the hype machine well and truly rolling, Capcom and Square Enix have posted brand new artworks (in vastly different styles).
First off, Dragon's Dogma 2 has been given this amazing piece that shows the titular dragon going up against the Arisen and their allies. Simply gorgeous.
And then, taking on a much less serious tone, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has chibi-fied its main characters and plopped them in some kind of city square. We're big fans of Cloud's emotionless expression as he's pulled two ways by Tifa and Aerith. Some things never change...
Of course, these are just two examples taken from a tidal wave of Happy New Year messages posted by developers on social media — but we reckon they're the cream of the crop (and it helps that both games are looming on the horizon).
That said, here are some honourable mentions, thanks to their lovely art:
Cygames posted this very pretty picture (with Granblue Fantasy: Relink dropping in February).
The official Tales account gave us the Tales of Arise gang sporting traditional Japanese New Year outfits.
And Final Fantasy 16 published some fantastic art featuring the Rosfield brothers and Dion.

FF16 team, the ones who aren’t working together anymore. Gotcha.
Bruh trying to look through all these on gematsu site with all them loading actually made my phone crash lol 😆 😂
@Drago201 The page crashed my desktop browser earlier! But still, I appreciate Gematsu's dedication.
Dragons Dogma 2 is life.
@ShogunRok oh definitely and he's added even more it's updated like 4 times already
Absolutley in love with the art from dragon's dogma. Feels like the cover of an epic fantasy novel!
Also...crap.😅 I've still yet to play FFXVI and I have a feeling I might have accidentally spoiled the game for myself🥲
FF7 and Dragon’s Dogma… and that’s a wrap for 2024… the year’s booked!
DD2 and FFVII Rebirth are two of my most anticipated games ever. Can't wait. And we have the spiritual successor to Suikoden coming out this year too, made by members of the original team.
@homelesscretin I'd say it's a reference to the original Dungeons & Dragons player book.
@Matroska Came to the comments to say the same thing 😁 100% the reference. Makes me love it even more 🥰
@LocalPenguin @Matroska Great spot! Makes this even cooler.
@Matroska Duuuuuuude nice catch!
I know jack sh*t about dungeons and dragons so I never would have clocked 😂.
Apart from that movie starring Chris Pine. Was pretty good if I say so myself. Recommend it if anyone hasn't seen it yet👍
Dragon dogma 2 for the win
Word up son
The Final Fantasy 7 art is really cute
@Drago201 : Can I join the club? Because the same thing happened to my phone as well.😅
@Matroska : Nice catch!👍 That makes Capcom's DD2 art above even cooler.
