This absolutely does not tell us what this new project is, and we do not have any elements that allow us to determine which license is concerned, as well as the type of game (remaster, sequel, etc.). There is also the possibility that this is a completely new license. There are nevertheless several elements that point in the direction of Dragon’s Dogma 2.

This does not allow us to draw conclusions, but these different elements point towards Dragon’s Dogma 2. It remains to be discovered if this is indeed the case. An announcement could be made during the conferences related to E3 2022 in June.
