What it is

Set in a huge open world, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen presents a rewarding action combat experience. 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 learnt from each player. PC 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.

In Dragon's Dogma, players assume the role of the Arisen, a hero chosen to confront a looming threat in their land. The game begins with the Arisen's hometown facing an unexpected attack by a powerful dragon, setting the stage for an epic adventure. As the Arisen, players embark on a quest to seek vengeance and answers, journeying across diverse landscapes filled with both allies and adversaries. Along the way, they uncover secrets about their own identity and the true nature of the world they inhabit. Dragon's Dogma offers a compelling storyline that unfolds through exploration, combat, and interaction with its vibrant cast of characters, all set against the backdrop of a fantastical realm ripe for discovery.
