'Dark Arisen' Expands Dragon's Dogma Next Year

Capcom’s intention of turning Dragon’s Dogma into a full-fledged franchise has taken a gradual step forward, as the company revealed a new, “major” expansion to the fantasy adventure game set to hit sometime next year. Unfortunately, if you want actual details, you’re out of luck, as the developer has been mum on what exactly “The Dark Arisen” will entail. For now? Enjoy the teaser above!

If you want something now, or at least soon, there are two free patches coming for all you who can’t get enough of all those dragons and dogmas and stuff. First off is a new “Hard” mode, which will assuredly satiate all of you gaming masochists out there. Similarly attractive is the “speedrun” mode, which will reward players who are able to, uh, speed run the game, I’d guess. Both new modes are said to reward the challenges present with greater loot, so there’s that.

As for the expansion, Capcom promises to spill the beans soon. Until then, strength in numbers, Arisen.

Let’s hope it’s not just major in regards to their previous DLC efforts. Nickel-and-diming couldn’t be more possible, even for Capcom. I
