Dragon’s Dogma 2 is Capcom’s action-RPG sequel to 2012’s original Dragon’s Dogma (later expanded as Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen in 2013). It released March 22, 2024 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, and has since become an established, actively supported title — over two years post-launch, Capcom is still releasing major updates and has announced a full story expansion, Dragon’s Dogma II: Dark Arisen, for October 9, 2026.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 lets players build their own Arisen from scratch (or from a template) in one of several vocations — Fighter, Thief, Mage, Archer, and more — and forge a permanent bond with a central Pawn, a computer-controlled companion who accompanies them throughout the quest, alongside two additional hired Pawns.
Who Composed the Dragon’s Dogma 2 Soundtrack?
The Dragon’s Dogma 2 Original Soundtrack was written by an in-house Capcom Sound Team led by Satoshi Hori, with additional composers Hana Kimura, Masahiro Oki, Shusaku Uchiyama, and Yoshitaka Suzuki.
Correction: earlier versions of this page credited Tadayoshi Makino, Rei Kondoh, and Inon Zur as the Dragon’s Dogma 2 composers. That trio actually scored the original 2012 Dragon’s Dogma and its Dark Arisen expansion — not the 2024 sequel. We’ve corrected the credit above to match the actual Dragon’s Dogma 2 soundtrack team.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 – Post-Launch Updates & Reception

Capcom has continued supporting the game with title updates addressing performance, fast travel, and balance — including Title Update 3.1 on June 10, 2026 — ahead of the announced Dragon’s Dogma II: Dark Arisen expansion, revealed at Summer Game Fest 2026 and set for release on October 9, 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and a new Nintendo Switch 2 port. The expansion adds a new region with roughly a dozen dungeons and 15–20 hours of additional story content.
