Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen Switch 2 Version Has Bugs, Capcom Confirms Patch

Capcom has confirmed that the Switch 2 version of Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen has some issues and a fix patch is in development. Other platforms already received update 4.1.

Hey, Dragon's Dogma fans — if you picked up the Switch 2 version of Dark Arisen and something felt off, you're not imagining it. Capcom has confirmed the game has some bugs on Nintendo's new hardware, and a fix is on the way.

According to a report from Nintenderos, the Switch 2 edition of Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen launched on October 9 and bundles the base game with its expansion content. It also marks the first time the series has ever appeared on a Nintendo console — a pretty big milestone for the franchise.

The buggy launch comes as Capcom has already rolled out version 4.1 for other platforms, which focuses mainly on bug fixes and adjustments. The Switch 2 patch, however, will arrive later, and Capcom hasn't yet detailed exactly what it will address. The company says more information will be shared soon.

Dark Arisen is the paid expanded version of Dragon's Dogma 2, and it's available on Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. While the other platforms got their 4.1 update, Switch 2 players are left waiting for their own round of fixes — never a fun spot to be in.

For some context on how big this series has become: since the original Dragon's Dogma launched back in 2012, the franchise has shipped over 14 million copies worldwide. That's a lot of Arisen running around, and it explains why fans were so hyped to see the series finally land on a Nintendo system.

So if you're playing on Switch 2, hang tight — Capcom knows about the problems and is working on a patch. We'll keep an eye out for the full details when they drop.
