Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen Is Out, and One Reviewer Needed 50 Hours to Finish It

Capcom's $29.99 Dark Arisen expansion for Dragon's Dogma 2 releases on October 8 in the US and October 9 in the UK, Europe, and other regions, more than two years after the base game. Early reviews posted October 7 are strong: Push Square calls it an excellent expansion set in a large new region to the north, and says the main story and side quests took around 50 hours before an endgame opened. You do not need to finish the base game to start it.

  2. Did Dragon's Dogma 2 need this to finally feel finished?
  3. Should more studios ship one huge expansion instead of a season pass?
