Dark Cloud 3

According to this news story from IGN.com, Level 5 (developers of the Dark Cloud series) would “seriously consider” developing a 3rd Dark Cloud game.

Dark Cloud 3 development under “serious consideration”

If this story is true, the key factor in determining future development would be public demand. Level 5 is a Japanese company, so unless you understand Japanese – it may be difficult to contact them. I, however, will provide a link to their translated contact page here.

Here is also a petition for Level 5 to develop this game.

Dark Cloud 3 petition

This blog was created to provide any potential information about another game in the Dark Cloud series. The Dark Cloud games were extremely addictive and vast RPGs that originated on the PS2. The 2nd game (in my opinion, one of the best games to hit the PS2) came out back in 2003. Due to possible commercial disappointments with the series, a 3rd game has yet to be produced. The Level 5 team went on to develop Rogue Galaxy (similar in style to Dark Cloud, but not quite the same) – however there has been no further developments in this wonderful series. I will pursue any information that I can find about Dark Cloud 3 – and if we get enough people interested, maybe we can harass game producers enough to consider ordering this game for development. Stay Tuned!

PS. I will also blog about Dark Cloud 1 and Dark Cloud 2 as there’s very limited content available for any future games in this series.
