Pawns remain part of the game, though multiple Arisen can take part in quests. Capcom's servers allow cross-platform multiplayer between PS4, PC and PS3 versions. Multiplayer elements of the game include Clans which can be user-created, 8-player 'Grand Missions', and a Bazaar where items can be bought and sold between players. The first closed beta test (CBT1) for the game took place from 7–15 July 2015.

The game was announced in the 27 January 2015 issue of Famitsu magazine. The game is to be financed by a free-to-play business model with microtransactions. Vocations also have a separate leveling system from your character, and switching vocations will require you to level them up from scratch.Dragon's Dogma Online was developed as an online version of Dragon's Dogma development about the same time that of Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. For instance, a ranger can’t wield a sword and shield like the fighter, but swords will be unlocked once you gain access to more advanced vocations like the mystic knight. Your vocation also determines the kinds of weapons you can equip, and the skills you can learn. You’ll get to choose a starter vocation (fighter, ranger, mage) at the beginning of the game, and this will determine your play style for the first few hours, at least until you reach Gran Soren. Most of the game’s side quests can be found in the capital Gran Soren, and you can also take on special fetch quests and escort quests for certain NPCs at the city’s quest board.Ĭombat-wise, Dark Arisen features a pretty dynamic action combat system. Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is an open world action RPG, which means that there are plenty of side quests for you to take on if you don’t want to do any of the main missions.
