Dragon's Dogma 2 DLC announced during Nintendo Direct

gamingJun 9, 2026403,060

Dragon's Dogma 2 received a Dark Arisen DLC announcement from Capcom during Nintendo Direct, with a trailer that teases undead-themed enemies and new locations. Artists and creators are finishing Menella sketches and producing zombified character designs lifted from the trailer. Work spans quick sketches, fully rendered key art, short animatics, comics, and cosplay concepts. Several pieces explicitly riff on the Dark Arisen name and dungeon-focused endgame scenarios from the series' first expansion.

dragons dogma 2 dlc coming made me finish these Menella sketches

Menella from Dragon's Dogma 2. I drew sketches back when the game released in 2024 and never finished them but that DLC announcement got me excited again. (the beastren don't look this cute in the actual game tho)

i thought the trolling was just a side effect of their game design but now i'm starting to see the vision. This game is designed to troll you as a primary objective

Illustration of the Dragon from Dragon's Dogma 2, based on the cutscene of him taking the player character's and making the player character into an Arisen. A red dragon with long pointed ears, a sharp beaklike nose with a spiky chin, two long horns, intense yellow eyes and two wings with his claw outstretched, a single finger extended, with a heart in bright red skewed on his claw.

My first thought on the Pokopia DLC was "oh no! What about that person who removed all their water?!"

I can't fucking believe Capcom did me like this right when I thought I was safe to start the Dragon's Dogma 2 LP. I mean I'm glad ultimately, but goddamn it lol

💜: I am unfortunately a sucker for "game studio renames something for nostalgia". Naming the Dragon's Dogma 2 DLC Dark Arisen, continuing the theme of "this is what the developer wanted to do the first time redux" has hooked me. I shall be getting it even if I shouldn't. I love Dragon's Dogma.

I never would have expected a Dragons Dogma 2 and Dark Arisen DLC drop at a Nintendo Direct. Mind blown along with just everything else dropped. Best "E3" in years!

I see me waving a cricket bat with a breezeblock nailed to it, telling companies not to dare announce anything else cool for September/October worked about as well as expected. 🤣🤪 (I'm currently looking at six games and an expansion now, which is more new big games than this year and last combined)
