Here’s the Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen release time for your region
Dragon’s Dogma 2’s Dark Arisen expansion launches this week with a staggered global release across different timezones. North American players can access the expansion on October 8—5 pm PDT on the West Coast and 8 pm EDT on the East Coast—while players in the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand receive access on October 9 at region-specific times ranging from 1 am BST to 1 pm NZDT.
The expansion arrives more than two years after the base game’s 2024 launch. The Dark Arisen DLC requires approximately 25GB of storage space, and players should note that no preload option is currently available, meaning downloads will begin only at the official release time for each region. The staggered global schedule ensures synchronized access across major regions despite timezone differences.
