# Bundle or expansion? How to buy Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen without paying twice

Dark Arisen came out on October 9, and a lot of people are stuck on the same question: $49.99 or $29.99? The store page doesn't make it clear which one you need, and there are two prices and only one name.

The short answer

* You own Dragon's Dogma 2 on PS5, Xbox or Steam: buy the expansion for $29.99.
* You don't own it: buy the bundle for $49.99. It includes the base game.
* You're on Switch 2: the bundle is the only version.

Teaser is here: ​​ [Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen - Main Trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmKyRay8hGc)

## Why the name is confusing

If “Dark Arisen” rings a bell, you're probably remembering the 2013 expanded re-release of the first Dragon's Dogma. This one is built differently. On PS5, Xbox and Steam, Dark Arisen is an add-on that does nothing without the base game. The $49.99 “Dark Arisen” product is that add-on sold together with the base game. On Switch 2, DD2 is arriving for the first time, so only the bundle exists there.

## What's inside

The main attraction is Norgan, a snowy region in the north that nobody has lived in for ages. The story there is called Forsaken Dominion: you team up with a new character, Eir, to find out what's going on with the undying Fallen Dragon.

Back on the familiar map you get twelve new dungeons called Lost Rites. The character creator gets new options too.

Title Update 4.0 arrives the same day, with Hard Mode and quality-of-life changes. Earlier title updates this year were free for everyone, so check the patch notes to see what 4.0 needs the expansion for. Capcom has also added a new batch of Official Pawns with names like Toy Leon and Knockoff Ryu.

## New to DD2? The bundle is the cheaper route

Capcom spent June getting the store ready. The expansion was announced at a Nintendo Direct that month. Within weeks, the Deluxe Edition of the base game disappeared, along with most of the paid shortcut items from launch, such as Wakestones, which bring dead characters back to life. The base game also got a permanent price cut. It launched at $69.99, and in Europe it now costs €39.99.

Here's what that does to the math, in euros. The base game plus the expansion bought separately is €69.98. The bundle is €49.99, so you save about €20. Check the base game's price in your region: as long as it's above $20, the bundle is cheaper.

If the microtransactions were why you skipped DD2 at launch, most of them are gone now.

## Already own DD2? Three things before you buy

* Level 40 is recommended for Norgan, though you can walk in earlier.
* To start the DLC, talk to Captain Brant at the Stardrop Inn in Vernworth at night. He gets two new dialogue options: one for the Norgan story, one for Lost Rites.
* If your save has already reached the Unmoored World, the DLC stays locked until you start New Game+.

## Is it worth it?

Two early reviews are out. Vice calls it a must-play with enough content to pass as a standalone game. RPGFan calls it the definitive Dragon's Dogma sequel, though it says the story is basic. Two reviews aren't a verdict, so player reviews on Steam will tell you more in a few weeks.

Buy it if you liked DD2 and wanted a reason to go back, or if you're new and the bundle costs less than the base game plus the expansion. If you dropped DD2 early because it didn't click, an expansion to that same game is a hard sell.

On Switch 2, check performance reports before you buy, since the bundle is the only way to get the game there.

# 2 Million Wishlists in Spirit: Why Everyone is Demanding the Resident Evil Veronica Remake

The hype around Capcom’s Resident Evil universe is hitting a fever pitch. Still, this time, it’s all about a classic that doesn't even have an official release date yet: Resident Evil: Code: Veronica - or, as fans are simply calling the potential remake, Resident Evil Veronica. 

Across social media, gaming forums, and X, fan anticipation is already reaching millions of speculative wishlists. The community is practically begging Capcom to give this long-overlooked gem the same full RE Engine remake treatment that Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 received. It’s a classic phenomenon: stoking massive anticipation through fan passion alone while everyone waits for Capcom to drop official news.

## Why is Everyone Obsessing Over a 2000s Dreamcast Game?

To casual players, Code: Veronica might look like an obscure spin-off. Released back in 2000 on SEGA’s Dreamcast, it lacked a number in its title, so many gamers skipped it entirely. 

However, franchise historians know the truth: Code: Veronica was always the true, canonical sequel to Resident Evil 2. It tracks Claire Redfield’s desperate search for her brother Chris, brings back iconic villain Albert Wesker, and bridges the crucial story gap between RE2 and RE5. 

## Where is Everyone’s Favorite Heartthrob, Leon?

Let’s be honest: a huge portion of the Resident Evil fanbase is secretly (or openly) in love with Leon S. Kennedy. If your partner is one of them, they might be wondering where the blonde heartthrob is during all this chaos. 

While Leon doesn't physically show up to shoot zombies in his iconic jacket this time, he plays a crucial role behind the scenes. In the original plot, Claire sends an urgent email to Leon, who uses his government contacts to locate Chris Redfield and send him on the rescue mission. With Capcom potentially reimagining the story, fans are already praying for a surprise Leon cameo - because a Resident Evil release without the ultimate gaming crush just feels incomplete.

## A Quick Note from My In-House Resident Evil Expert

Full disclosure: this is where my personal survival horror expertise ends. To get the full picture, I had to consult my boyfriend - a die-hard Resident Evil lore scholar who has beaten every single game, watched all the animated movies, and can explain the Umbrella Corporation’s corporate hierarchy off the top of his head. 

According to him, the hype isn't just about nostalgia; it’s about redemption. Code: Veronica contained some of the absolute best lore in the entire franchise - explaining the origins of the T-Veronica virus and the founding families of Umbrella - but it was held back by brutal, unforgiving Y2K game design (like literally soft-locking your save file if you ran out of ammo on an airplane). If Capcom fixes the gameplay while keeping the iconic story intact, he promises this won't just be another remake - it’ll be the ultimate Resident Evil experience.

## Can It Match RE2 and RE4?

The community's trust in Capcom has never been higher, thanks to the legendary streak of the RE2 and RE4 remake teams. The dream is to see the original's frustrating fixed-camera angles and notoriously brutal tank controls replaced with a modern, fluid over-the-shoulder perspective. 

The big question now remains open: when Capcom finally pulls back the curtain, can the Resident Evil Veronica remake match the legendary success of RE2 and RE4, or will it prove once again that anticipation is sometimes worth more than the release itself?
