Check Out The First PS4/Xbox One Trailer For Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

Rising again.

By Kevin Knezevic on July 20, 2017 at 12:27PM PDT

Back in May, Capcom quietly announced that it is bringing Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Today, the company shared the first Japanese trailer for the upcoming port.

Originally released for PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2012, Dragon's Dogma is an open-world fantasy RPG with elements reminiscent of Monster Hunter, Skyrim, and Dark Souls. Its most distinctive feature was its unique "pawn" system, which allowed players to recruit other player avatars as AI-controller party members. Dark Arisen is an enhanced and expanded version of the original, with a number of new items, weapons, and improvements. It's most signification addition, however, was an entirely new area to explore called Bitterblack Isle. This version was later ported to PC in 2016.

Capcom announced the PS4 and Xbox One port to commemorate the series' fifth anniversary. While the new trailer is entirely in Japanese, it still gives fans an extended look at the game's combat and monstrous enemies. You can watch the full trailer above.

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is slated to arrive for PS4 and Xbox One this fall. The original game was well-received when it first released; in GameSpot's Dragon's Dogma review, critic Kevin VanOrd awarded the game 8/10 and said of it: "Dragon's Dogma is many things: a flawed classic, an exciting disaster, a triumphant mess. One thing it isn't is a generic rehash. Dragon's Dogma will remain with you, frustrations and victories alike, when your memories of other games have long since faded."

Can't even say anything witty and sarcastic anymore. My last comment on one of Capcom's remaster was something like "What's left now? Are there any other PS3 games Capcom hasn't brought to the PS4 yet?"

I'm not gonna ask that again. I know that there's still at least a couple more games Capcom can and will release.

"to commemorate the series' fifth anniversary" Riiight. And here I thought it was out ot pure desperation since Capcom hasn't released anything noteworthy in a very long time.

Shame they could have done a Assassin's creed 3 thing, port the ship into assassin's creed 4 black flag for share holder confidence and consumer disaffection.

Looks even worse then before, but what made this game was not the graphics.

Sadly only the modding community can visually help here.

I played this game 5 years ago.....mediocre RPG with the pawn system being the worst invention I have seen in a video game other than "mother base".......just re-releasing old games that were mediocre....great....should do well on the PlayStation as they love that garbage.

Does it cost next to nothing porting games over from last gen to next? It'll probably sell 50 copies or less on Xbox in Japan lol. I guess it'll sell better once it's released in the west.

And this just confirms why the game has not been allowed to be made backward compatible yet...Capcom's continued greed. How many times do they have to resell the same game?

@lonesamurai1: No, You could upscale it to 4k with the already released PC version. And that video of the version coming to ps4,x1 looks very similar.
