All the fan theories were correct: Dragon’s Dogma 2 is getting an expansion later this year… plus a Nintendo Switch 2 port.

Capcom surprise-announced the Switch 2 port of Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen – yes, the expanded version directly borrows its title from the original – during today’s Nintendo Direct.

No further details were shared, but the Dark Arisen DLC will open up a new snowy area as suggested by Capcom’s sneaky teases. Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen will come out on 9th October on Switch 2, with the PC (Steam), PS5, and Xbox Series X/S versions getting the DLC on the same date.

The announcement of such an ambitious port also raises a number of questions regarding performance, as Dragon’s Dogma 2 was particularly heavy on current-gen hardware, but it doesn’t come as an absolute shock following other high-profile third-party ports. It follows the just-announced Monster Hunter Wilds and Onimusha ports from Capcom.

Stay tuned for more details as they arrive.
