Yesterday saw the shock announcement that Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is headed to Nintendo Switch this April. While western release options are still unknown at this point, it has been confirmed that Japan will receive no less than four different physical editions to choose from.
First up, and the biggest set of them all, is the Complete Edition, a bundle which includes a copy of the game, a mini soundtrack CD (which features five songs from the game), and a U-Treasure wax seal necklace. This collection is listed at 26,926 yen before tax (approximately £194 / $247). That's one expensive game bundle.
The second set, called the Limited Edition, has everything from the Complete Edition included except the CD for 25,926 yen (so just a little bit cheaper), but those who want to save a little bit of cash will likely be going for one of the final two, necklace-lacking options. The Collector's Package comes with a copy of the game and the CD for 4,990 yen (approx. £36 / $45) or you can buy the game on its own for 3,990 yen. All bundles can be found at Capcom's online store.
As noted above, we're still awaiting confirmation on whether or not western territories will be receiving similar treatment.
Would you pick up any of these bundles if they were available in your region? Will you just be downloading the game from the eShop when it launches on 23rd April? Let us know in the comments below.

with english options I hope!
Would be nice if you converted the 3990 yen to £€ as you have with every other value?
Onimusha is already one that if you want a physical copy you would need to import and now this one seems to be going the same way.
I'm guessing we won't have a physical release in Europe once again...
That really makes me think twice about getting the game.
Yes definatly feels like no physical UK release and if it's £28 physical in Japan it could well be £20-£25 EShop title for the UK
Same as Dark Souls, this game did not age well... Come on Capcom you can do better, give us something more recent.
Never heard of this title but it looks awesome, plzzzz make it for America!
I’ve got the soundtrack to both the original and the expansion but I am a sucker for video game jewelry. I wish Capcom would offer their premium items internationally. I’m too lazy to do the package forwarding services. I need a friend in Japan lol.
@tourjeff eu/au dont get much capcom love anymore. I read capcom have financial strain so I presume they are being extra careful with what is getting released outside of japan n dont wont to lose out on any major profit
Would be so great if they added local multiplayer to this version. Ah well, I'm still hype.
@Retupmocnin Wait, what about Dark Souls didn't age well?
This will be mostly likely 40€/$ and 35£. And I say it is a good price.
@Retupmocnin Dragons Dogma is a silly little game with loads of fun moments and an admittedly hollow storyline. But I think it's aged incredibly well.
@ThatNyteDaez The combat at least has aged incredibly well. It feels so good in that game. You can tell it's from a company that makes action and fighting games.
$250 for the complete edition + shipping? No thanks.
playasia are advertising a US version https://www.play-asia.com/dragons-dogma-dark-arisen/13/70chvb?affiliate_id=956097
@Painay
Came here to say that.
PlayAsia has both NA and EU physical versions listed already. They're going all in for this one. Well done Capcom.
@AstralOrange64
I wasn't expecting to like this game when I got it on 360, but it is surprisingly engrossing. Combat is tight, character creation and party creation is loads of fun, and the exploration- while not skyrim-esque- is fraught with peril. You can easily end up somewhere dead.
I'll be buying it again, as I don't have a 360 anymore. Also, I never got the "dark arisen" version, so there will be new stuff here!
Just a standard physical copy for me please. What's up with these outlandish special editions like with DMC 5?!
me still waiting for DD2
