About

An open-world action role-playing game set in the high-fantasy land of Gransys. Players create a customizable protagonist and explore the world in real-time combat, choosing among vocations such as fighter, mage, and strider. A defining feature is the Pawn system, AI companions who fight alongside the player, offer advice, and can be shared with other players online. Combat lets characters grapple and climb large monsters to reach vulnerable spots. Dark Arisen is an expanded edition of the original Dragon's Dogma that adds the Bitterblack Isle area with new high-level enemies, quests, and equipment.

Storyline

In the land of Gransys, a dragon long said to herald the end of the world arrives and attacks the protagonist's coastal village. When the protagonist confronts the dragon, it takes their heart, yet they survive. This marks them as the Arisen, a figure destined to face the dragon and stop the coming catastrophe. Setting out across Gransys, the Arisen is joined by Pawns, human-like beings who exist to aid those who carry that fate, and follows the dragon's challenge while uncovering a deeper conspiracy surrounding it.
