What’s New?
Dark Arisen is a re-release of the original Dragon’s Dogma, and it includes all of the game’s previously released DLC. This includes armor packs, and other cosmetic items. Dark Arisen also introduces a brand new dungeon called Bitterblack Isle, which can be accessed through a boat ride from Cassardis. The dungeon itself brings a whole new selection of armor and equipment for you to discover, along with newer and tougher enemies to challenge. However, it’s highly recommended that you hit level 45 before attempting to face the dangers here.
On a more technical level, Dark Arisen also fixes a lot of balancing issues and other complaints players had with the original game. For instance, Ferrystone prices have been reduced, and Portcrystals have also been added to certain key areas in Gransys. Weapon skills have been re-balanced, and new enemy placements are also introduced in this re-release. Dark Arisen has also received a nice graphical upgrade on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and the game is looking sharper than ever.
Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is now available on PC, and will be released for PS4 and Xbox One on Oct. 3.
