Capcom says it's finally putting that old scandal to rest: starting June 25, microtransactions will be removed from Dragon's Dogma 2, the feature that drew heavy criticism at launch. Paid return stones and rift crystals will disappear, and the digital edition will get a permanent price cut. This move seems tied to the upcoming reissue, Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, scheduled for Oct 9, 2026 on PC and consoles (incl. Nintendo Switch 2). The reissue ships with a substantial expansion set in the harsh, snowy reaches of Norgan — new story content, fresh monsters, and a run of 12 dungeons are promised — while only a couple of cosmetic sets will remain. Some players will call this overdue; others will ask whether removing most MTX but leaving a few cosmetic items is enough to close the book.
