Capcom Shows More Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen Content

During its latest Capcom Spotlight, Capcom showed off more of action RPG Dragon’s Dogma 2’s upcoming Dark Arisen expansion. Introduced by director Kento Kinoshita, the eight-minute segment offered an overview of the expansion and some of the content it includes, as well as additional content coming to the base game in a free update in late August.

The Dark Arisen expansion takes players to the abandoned northern region of Norgan. Players join up with Eir to uncover the secrets of the undying Fallen Dragon. During their expedition, players will need to unearth forgotten relics, which unlock new weapons and skills. The expansion also includes twelve new Lost Rites dungeon challenges, which grant rare equipment once held by past Arisen when beaten. It also adds new character creation options, including new hairstyles and tattoos.

Meanwhile, the version 3.2 update follows the version 3.1 update from earlier this month. The version 3.2 update will feature various quality-of-life upgrades, including additional save slots, improved Dragonsplague benefits and additional treatment methods, more weapon skill slots, and more. Full details regarding the update can be found on the game’s official website.

Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen will release for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on October 9, 2026, priced at $29.99. That date will also see both the base game and expansion release on Nintendo Switch 2 as a single bundle priced at $49.99. The game takes place in a parallel world to the original Dragon’s Dogma and Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen. Players control a customised character known as the Arisen, a champion whose heart has been stolen by the Dragon, and are joined by up to three NPC Pawn allies.
