Here’s a surprise, Capcom has announced that Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is coming to the Switch. There’s not long to wait as well with the game being released on April 23rd.
This enhanced version of Dragon’s Dogma was originally released in 2013, but it marks the first time the series has seen a Nintendo console release. Like some previous Capcom Switch releases, the game will be digital only in Europe – which probably means us as well.
In late 2017, Capcom said they wanted to bring more of their titles to the Switch. We’re guessing this is one them.
The critically acclaimed action RPG Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen makes its way to Nintendo Switch! Set in a huge open world known as Gransys, the game presents a rewarding action combat experience with nine vocations to choose from, all possessing a wide range of devastating skills and magicks to tackle deadly foes. Players embark on an epic adventure in a rich, living world with three AI companions, known as Pawns. These partners fight independently, demonstrating prowess and ability that they have developed based on traits learned from each player. Users can share these Pawns online and reap rewards of treasure, tips and strategy hints for taking down the terrifying enemies. Pawns can also be borrowed when specific skills are needed to complete various challenging quests.
