We're steadily approaching the launch of Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, an updated iteration of Capcom's 2024 RPG. The biggest surprise is the addition of a Hard Mode, intended to give even the best of players a proper challenge. In a recent Steam Q&A session with Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen producer Naoto Oyama and director Kento Kinoshita, the duo discuss working on the project and what this Hard Mode has in store for players. While Oyama advises players to "stay tuned for further updates" regarding Hard Mode's release, Kinoshita decides to elaborate on it. "We'd like players to use those recommendations as a reference and choose their own path based on how they want to experience the game," Oyama iterates.
