Dragon's Dogma II: Dark Arisen Adds Lost Rites Dungeons And Norgan
Capcom's Dragon's Dogma II: Dark Arisen expansion brings the Arisen north to Norgan, a frozen kingdom tied to another Arisen and a Fallen Dragon, and adds roughly a dozen Lost Rites dungeons across Vermund and Battahl.

Why it matters
Dark Arisen is a second paid pass over a base game that already shipped divisive fast-travel limits and uneven performance, so the expansion's value rests on the patches and the Lost Rites as much as on Norgan itself.
Key Facts
- Dragon's Dogma II: Dark Arisen is an expansion for Dragon's Dogma II developed by Capcom.
- The expansion is available on PC, PS5 and PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
- Dark Arisen adds around a dozen Lost Rites dungeons across Vermund and Battahl.
- The new region Norgan is a frozen kingdom north of Vermund and Battahl.
- Two large patches revise console performance, Pawn behavior, and Vocation options.
The expansion ships for PC, PS5 and PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, with two large patches also revising console performance, Pawn behavior, and Vocation options.
Some Lost Rites impose party restrictions rather than just harder enemies. One limits the Arisen to their Main Pawn alone; another requires the whole party to enter with specific weapons or Vocations equipped. Clearing them yields loot and currencies that carry into Norgan.
The expansion is titled the same as the Dark Arisen release for the first Dragon's Dogma, and the review notes that overlap. Norgan sits far north of Vermund and Battahl and is framed as an abandoned kingdom.
