Dragon’s Dogma 2 Switch Release, Dark Arisen Expansion Announced
Capcom announced that Dragon’s Dogma 2 is coming to Nintendo Switch 2. The game will be released on the console on October 9, 2026, as Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, containing both the base game and its newly-revealed Dark Arisen expansion. The expansion will also be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on the same date, priced at $29.99, with the Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen bundle also available for $49.99.
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 grants rare equipment once held by past Arisen when beaten. It also adds new character creation options, including new hairstyles and tattoos.
In addition, the game will be receiving two free updates. The first update, released today, adds the reusable Eternal Ferrystone to make fast travel more accessible, as well as additional quality-of-life improvements. The second update is planned for the end of August, and includes improved frame rate performance, additional save slots, and further quality-of-life improvements.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 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.
