Capcom released Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, an expansion for Dragon’s Dogma 2. At the same time, a version for Nintendo Switch 2 came out that combines the base game and the expansion in one edition.
What happened
For players who have already finished the original, Dark Arisen is a reason to return to the familiar world for a new story chapter. For new players, the more important question is which edition to buy. The bundle with the base game and the expansion is more convenient for a first introduction, while owners of the original should make sure the chosen option does not duplicate content they already have.
What this changes
- Check whether you already have the base Dragon’s Dogma 2, since that determines which edition you need.
- For Switch 2, a bundle with the base game and the expansion has been announced, but the price and regional availability may differ.
- Before downloading, compare the amount of free storage with the requirements of your specific platform.
What next
Dark Arisen makes the autumn gaming calendar more interesting for fans of role-playing adventures. It is better to choose a version after a quick check of your library and platform, rather than going only by the name on a promotional banner.
What does the Nintendo Switch 2 version include?
Capcom announced a bundle that includes Dragon’s Dogma 2 and the Dark Arisen expansion.
Does the owner of the original need to buy the base game?
