Capcom shared a new trailer for Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen this week, and apart from this, there’s now a demon on the eShop. This demo focuses exclusively on the extensive character creator, which has now also been updated with new hairstyles and tattoos.

Capcom: “The Character Creator & Storage app has been updated with the new hairstyles and tattoos you’ll get in DD2DA! Characters created with these new parts can be used from Oct. 9 when Dark Arisen launches! Nintendo Switch 2 Arisen, Dragon’s Dogma 2: Character Creator & Storage is now available on your platform too!”

Keep in mind this demo is restricted to the character creator, so if you want to experience any gameplay on this platform, it seems you’ll just have to wait until the Switch 2 version’s release on 9th October 2026.

The character creator allows you to prepare for this new adventure ahead of its release by creating characters and your pawn. This includes multiple character slots, and when you’re done crafting them, you’ll be able to save them and then carry over a single character to the full version of the game.

You can download this demo by heading over to the game page on the eShop and simply selecting the demo download option. You can find out more about Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen in our previous coverage here on Nintendo Life.
