Capcom Co., Ltd. today announced that Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, which includes an expansion for Dragon's Dogma 2, is scheduled to be released on October 9, 2026. The Dragon's Dogma series consists of action games in a fantasy setting where players adventure in an expansive open world of swords and magic. Since the release of the first game in 2012, the series garnered praise worldwide for gameplay features such as its "pawn" adventure companions who can carry out actions on their own, leading the series to over 14 million units sold cumulatively.

Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is a paid expansion title that adds a new story to Dragon's Dogma 2, which was released in March 2024. Based on the wide range of feedback received following the release of the main game, this expansion is being developed to offer greater accessibility and additional content, with the aim of delivering an experience that satisfies not only fans of the series, but also those playing Dragon's Dogma for the first time.
