Dragon's Dogma's Dark Arisen expansion will arrive on April 23 and 26 in North America and Europe, respectively. This follows a reveal on Monday that the game would arrive in Japan on April 25.

The $40 expansion will be available at retail in North America and Europe, as well as a digitally distributed title on the PlayStation Network. Dark Arisen sounds more like a relaunch of Dragon's Dogma, as it includes the full game, with travel improvements and "a more intuitive menu system." For those who already own Dragon's Dogma, the game provides the extra weapons and quests, allowing their old save data to be used with the new interface.

For the experienced quester, the game also includes further bonuses for those who previously owned Dragon's Dogma, as they'll receive "100,000 Rift Crystals, unlimited Ferrystones and the Gransys Armour Pack consisting of six brand new costumes for free."
