Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is a new gameplay expansion coming later this year, but developer Capcom is preceding that new content with some major free updates for the base game. At launch, many (including Game Informer, as you can see in our review) praised the game for its fun combat and friction-focused world, but it was also met with its fair share of criticism. Some were frustrated that fast travel was limited (though I personally loved it), largely locked behind a rare resource that you could also purchase with real-world money, and others lamented the game’s choppy performance, particularly…

Dragon’s Dogma 2, which launched in 2024 to positive critical reception, is coming back later this year as Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, adding a new region to the game and bringing it to Switch 2. However, fans of the series (or, honestly, anyone who’s even heard the titles of the games in the series) might notice that it’s the same subtitle given to a similar expanded version of the first Dragon’s Dogma game. When I asked producer Naoto Oyama why they went with the same name, he said they actually didn’t plan it from the start.”We decided on this…

Described as an “adaptive multiplayer battleground” the mode pits players against each other across modular, constantly shifting maps. In a blog post, Kill Block is billed as “a modular multiplayer battleground that reconfigures every match, challenging players to rethink routes, sightlines, and combat spaces on the fly.” The name Kill Block is actually a codename for the West Bridge Advanced Military Training facility, an off-the-books location designed as a live-fire training environment.
