Recruit Laios and Marcille as Official Pawns

During the limited-time crossover event, players can interact with specialized Official Pawns modelled after the primary duo from Delicious in Dungeon.

• Laios: Recruitable as a heavily armored Fighter, reflecting his role as the monster-studying party leader.
• Marcille: Recruitable as a powerful elven Mage specializing in offensive and utility magic.

Players can recruit both characters via Riftstones located throughout major settlements in Vermund, Battahl, and the new region of Norgan. Additionally, loading save data during the event window automatically unlocks crossover outfit sets modeled after Laios’s plate armor and Marcille’s elven robes. These outfits can be equipped by both the Arisen and their custom Main Pawn.

What Is Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen?

Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen serves as the major expansion and definitive release for Capcom’s fantasy RPG. Taking players into the long-abandoned, snow-covered northern wilderness of Norgan, the expansion introduces a campaign centered around the Fallen Dragon—an undying, heartless threat tied directly to the region’s ancient history.

Alongside the new narrative questline involving the companion Eir, Dark Arisen expands end-game content with 12 Lost Rites Dungeon Challenges scattered across the world map, enhanced character customization choices, and broader enemy variety.

Existing owners of Dragon’s Dogma 2 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or PC can purchase the Dark Arisen expansion standalone for €29.99 / $29.99.

The Rise of Delicious in Dungeon

Created by manga author Ryoko Kui, Delicious in Dungeon (Dungeon Meshi) became a breakout fantasy series following its publication in Kadokawa’s Harta magazine. The story follows a party of adventurers who explore dangerous dungeons while cooking and eating the monsters they slay to survive.

The 2024 anime adaptation produced by Studio Trigger gained global popularity on Netflix, making its culinary-focused fantasy world a natural thematic fit for the systemic monster hunting and camping mechanics of Dragon’s Dogma 2.
