"This week, Capcom announced that Dragon's Dogma 2 passed 4 million sales on November 5. While that's not a huge number compared to Capcom's other major titles, it's still half the number of copies that the original Dragon's Dogma has sold since its release in 2012, but achieved in a single year. For Dragon's Dogma, that figure also includes sales of its DLC expansion, Dark Arisen, making the number for Dragon's Dogma 2 even more impressive."
"Rather than being sold as an addition to the base game, the expansion essentially replaced the original, with Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen containing the entire first game plus an expansive endgame dungeon called Bitterblack Isle. Instead of the typically sprawling locations the rest of Dragon's Dogma take place in, Bitterblack Isle is a maze of cramped corridors, filled with monsters far more difficult than most of what was contained in the base game. It also adds quasi-roguelike elements with randomly placed items that change whenever you dive into the dungeon."
Dragon's Dogma 2 reached four million sales within a year of launch. That total equals roughly half the lifetime sales of the original Dragon's Dogma, whose tally includes the Dark Arisen expansion. Dark Arisen effectively replaced the base game and added Bitterblack Isle, an endgame dungeon of cramped corridors, much tougher monsters, and quasi-roguelike mechanics with randomly placed items. Dragon's Dogma 2 refines and repeats core elements from the first game while offering a grander adventure enabled by more than a decade of technological progress. Player hopes center on a similar expansive endgame expansion for the sequel.
