About this game
Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is a single-player action role-playing game.

Determined to reclaim their stolen heart and challenge the Dragon, the Arisen travels the realm accompanied by unearthly companions known as Pawns and explores a world filled with monsters, political intrigue and an ancient cycle of conflict.
After the main quest’s conclusion, the expanded content of Dark Arisen unlocks a mysterious island (Bitterblack Isle) teeming with dark forces and further raising the stakes for the Arisen’s journey.
Core gameplay revolves around fluid, real-time combat and character customisation.
At character creation the player sets appearance, gender and then selects a Vocation (such as Fighter, Mage, Strider, Warrior, Ranger, Sorcerer) which determines weapon access and skill-growth.
In battle the Arisen can climb and grapple large foes, exploit weak points, dodge and attack with various weapons and magicks, and combine tactical cooperation with the Pawns - who may be customised in appearance and load-out and optionally borrowed from other players’ worlds.
Experience is earned by defeating monsters, completing quests, and exploring the realm.
The player manages equipment (weapons, armour, augments), selects skills, changes vocation as desired, and adapts load-outs for the varied threats of night, region and monster strength.
The open world of Gransys provides a day-night cycle and dynamic weather which affect visibility and monster behaviour.
Travel occurs on foot, via horseback, and through docks and ferrystones to distant outposts.
Resource management includes carrying rations and springs, purchasing gear, and deciding when to venture into high-risk areas.
Climbing creatures such as cyclopes, griffins and hydras is a signature mechanic.
Dialogue with NPCs is kept functional rather than
About PlayStation 4
The PlayStation 4 (2013) cemented Sony's dominance of the eighth console generation, with a library exceeding 30,000 titles once indie and digital-only releases are counted. Most PS4 games remain affordable for collectors, but limited physical print runs — particularly from smaller publishers and later in the console's life cycle — are starting to see steady price increases as digital storefronts eventually wind down support.
Gamevaro tracks Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen for PlayStation 4 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS4 release dates back to 2013.
