Capcom first announced the expansion for ‘Dragon’s Dogma’ last year, now the publisher is ready to confirm new details on just what ‘Dark Arisen’ has in store for players. Here are the latest details on the new expansion pack.
‘Dark Arisen’ is now scheduled for release on both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The official release date is now April 23, 2024 in North America and April 26, 2024 in Europe. Capcom states that ‘Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen’ will be available as both a physical disc and a full game digital download. Here is the official description for the expansion:
Just off the Gransys mainland is the cursed Bitterblack Isle where gamers will embark on an all-new quest to discover an underground realm, complete with new terrifying foes and incredible treasure. Owners of the original Dragon’s Dogma will be able to export their existing characters and all other saved data to continue their journey as the Arisen, and face a new threat that has emerged from the cavernous depths. Players will be able to take their characters to new heights with brand new high-level skills and augments as well as all new weapons and armor sets. Furthermore, owners of the original Dragon’s Dogma will receive 100,000 Rift Crystals, unlimited Ferrystones and the Gransys Armour Pack consisting of six brand new costumes for free, upon purchasing Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen.
