Capcom producer Naoto Oyama has confirmed in a developer interview that Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen<\/strong> will deliver more than 25 hours of new content<\/strong> — and that’s just the paid expansion. A major free update, rolling out to all Dragon’s Dogma 2 owners in August, brings the long-requested multiple save slots, six assignable weapon skills, and a proper cure for Dragonsplague. When Capcom first revealed Dark Arisen at the June Spotlight<\/a>, we knew it was coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on 9 October alongside PS5 and PC — now we know exactly how much there is to do.<\/p>\n

The centrepiece of Dark Arisen is Norgan<\/strong>, a frozen northern land described as “the Far North.” Oyama told Video Games Chronicle<\/a> that “the new story takes place in a new region called Norgan… we expect players to spend around 15 to 20 hours completing that scenario.” That’s already on par with some standalone RPG campaigns.<\/p>\n

New character Eir<\/strong> — an enigmatic hunter pursuing the secrets of the Fallen Dragon — plays a central role in the Norgan storyline. Capcom hasn’t shown Eir in detail yet, but the character is described as pivotal to what’s unfolding in the far north. The region is recommended for around Level 40, so this is true endgame content.<\/p>\n
