Capcom is certainly riding the wave of renewed Dragon’s Dogma 2 hype. Fans have been returning to the game in droves following the Dark Arisen announcement back in June, with the recent 3.1 and 3.2 quality-of-life updates also bringing a mountain of welcome changes to the game.

Now, during TGS 2026, Capcom has finally dropped the main trailer for Dark Arisen, giving players a closer look at the new storylines and adventures waiting in the snowy North of the Forsaken Dominion.

Players will journey to the long-forgotten region of Norgan, where they will join forces with the enigmatic Eir. Together, they will attempt to unravel the secrets surrounding the mysterious and seemingly undying Fallen Dragon.

The expansion isn’t stopping at a new storyline, either. Dark Arisen will introduce 12 new Dungeon Challenges, giving players even more difficult encounters to tackle. The DLC will also add new hairstyles and tattoos, giving players additional ways to customize their characters.

Pawns are getting some attention as well. The expansion will introduce new partner-made Pawns, with even more official Pawns planned to arrive at a later date.

Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen launches on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam on October 9, 2026.

Players who preorder the expansion can also get the Norgan Fashion Set – Northern Attire as a bonus. However, Capcom notes that the set could become available through other means at a later date.
