Dragon’s Dogma 2 benefits from a timed collaboration with the beloved anime and manga series Delicious in Dungeon, and it’s available now on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox

Have you ever seen – or read – the wonderful Dungeon Meshi (known in English as “Delicious in Dungeon”)? This is a phenomenal manga series written and illustrated by Ryoko Kui, which was adapted into an anime series produced by Trigger in 2024. Long story short, it’s about a group of adventurers in a fantasy world who lose an encounter with a dragon – who eats one of the group members. What follows is a quest to revive the fallen party member (who happens to be the sister of one of the main characters), with the party of adventurers learning to cook and eat monsters in dungeons while discovering the strange truth behind the world they inhabit.

If you can’t tell, I think it’s excellent, and the wait for the next season – landing in October 2027 – is practically killing me. It combines two of my greatest passions, cooking and fantasy, in the crucible of a complex world and a well-told story. So imagine my surprise when I saw that Capcom announced a Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen x Delicious in Dungeon collaboration… and it’s literally live right now on the PS5, Xbox, and PC platforms, along with a new game update.

“New allies and equipment are arriving in the world of Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen with the arrival of official pawns and special collaboration outfits inspired by the Delicious in Dungeon characters Laios and Marcille,” we can read in a press release from the publisher. “Delicious in Dungeon is a hit manga series created by Ryoko Kui that follows adventurer Laios and his party as they venture deep into a dungeon, cooking and eating the monsters they encounter along the way. These iconic characters collide with the classic fantasy world of Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen in a limited-time collaboration arriving today on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

For those playing on the new Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game, this update will be available on Wednesday, November 11.

Official tokens inspired by the heavily armored Laios and the elf mage Marcille can be recruited from the Riftstones, but there is a catch: these tokens will only be available until Thursday, January 28, 2027 on all platforms. So we have a few months to play with them, but these useful characters won’t be permanent.

Additionally, players who load their data for Dragon’s Dogma 2 during the collaboration period will receive special crossover outfits inspired by those of Laios and Marcille. These collaboration outfits will be automatically added to the game’s storage and can be equipped by both Arisen and Pawns. Once traded, these outfits will remain available even after the collaboration event ends.
