Overview
- A late‑June title update removed many paid microtransactions and added the Eternal Ferrystone and more Portcrystals to allow unlimited or expanded fast travel.
- Capcom plans a larger free update in late August to fix performance, add multiple save slots, and make Dragonsplague easier to read and cure.
- Dark Arisen is confirmed to arrive on October 9, 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Nintendo Switch 2, and developers report Switch 2 builds already run at about 30 frames per second in testing.
- The expansion adds a new Norgan region with a 15–20 hour story plus twelve dungeons designed to total more than 25 hours of new play, and it brings relic‑based loot loops, new armor and expanded character customization.
- Developers say most quality‑of‑life options are optional to preserve the series' deliberate ‘friction,’ they are weighing a hard mode, and Capcom hopes these fixes and the expansion will win back players and improve the franchise's reputation.
