For players looking to dive into one of the most acclaimed RPGs of recent years, the complete Dragon's Dogma 2 experience is now available at an unprecedented discount. The bundle, which includes the base game and the Dark Arisen expansion, can be purchased for $41.99 USD or £37.79 GBP. This marks the lowest price point the collection has ever reached.
Dragon's Dogma 2 places players in the role of an Arisen, a character whose heart has been taken by a dragon and who is destined to defeat it. The game's narrative involves confronting a false Arisen who has usurped the player's rightful place, alongside a party of companions known as Pawns. Gameplay blends action-oriented combat with strategic party composition, allowing players to climb large creatures in a style reminiscent of Shadow of the Colossus to strike weak points. The Thief vocation, for example, offers unique opportunities for engaging with larger foes.
The Dark Arisen expansion seamlessly integrates into the main game's narrative, adding a new region, a new storyline centered around another Arisen in the frosty north, and significantly enhanced loot, including a new Relics system. The expansion also introduces the Lost Rites dungeons, which are accessible within the main game map. While the new content can be accessed relatively early, it is recommended for players to reach at least level 40 before venturing into the expansion's challenges to avoid becoming over-leveled for the base game's story.
Players who already own the base Dragon's Dogma 2 game can also purchase the Dark Arisen expansion separately at a discounted price through the same retailer, offering a Steam key for less than the price available directly through Valve's platform. The article also suggests leaving a map marker at the location of the first Finder's Token discovered.
