Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is coming out in October, and thankfully, it’s not a full re-release like the original from 2013. It’s available to purchase in a bundle or as a standalone expansion for existing Dragon’s Dogma 2 owners, and pre-ordering either will net you an exclusive outfit.

The pre-order bonus will become available when the expansion launches. Once Dark Arisen is available, the set will be sent to your in-game item storage, which can be accessed at any inn by speaking to the innkeeper. As always with CAPCOM’s pre-orders, the set might be available for purchase at a later date.

Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen Bundle

If you don’t own Dragon’s Dogma 2, you’ll need to purchase the bundled version of Dark Arisen. Since Dark Arisen is an expansion rather than a standalone release, the bundle includes the base game and the following content:

  • Dragon’s Dogma 2 (playable immediately).
  • Explorer’s Camping Kit (usable immediately).
  • Dragon’s Dogma Music & Sound Collection.
  • Dark Arisen expansion.
  • Norgan Fashion Set – Northern Attire.

Aside from the expansion and the Norgan Fashion Set, the bundle lets you start playing the base game immediately. If you already own Dragon’s Dogma 2, you can purchase the expansion separately at a much lower price.
