Capcom’s Dragon’s Dogma franchise is reportedly making the jump from PS3 to Vita this fall in Japan, but in an unexpected way. This week’s Famitsu magazine will reportedly announce the newest iteration, Dragon’s Dogma Quest, which will be a 2D, free-to-play, online-only game for the Vita, taking place in the Dragon’s Dogma universe.

The game will have players controlling a partie of eight “pawns” as they explore towns, dungeons and quests in true RPG fashion. The game will feature a staggering 150 jobs in the vocation system. The mechanics mark a serious departure for the series, whose previous games were 3D RPGs, with online features, but no necessity to be online. For now, the game is Japan only, a western release hasn’t been announced yet.
