Quick answer: The Delicious in Dungeon collab is live now in Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, with Switch 2 following next week. Install the new title update, then recruit Laios (Fighter) and Marcille (Sorcerer) as Official Pawns at a Riftstone. Load your save during the event and their outfits go into your storage for good. The pawns stay until the title update on Thursday, Jan 28, 2027. Current as of Nov 4, 2026.
Capcom has served up a crossover with Ryoko Kui’s hit manga and anime Delicious in Dungeon. The free update adds two characters from the series as recruitable helpers and gives every player a set of their gear to keep. Capcom confirmed the details in its official Steam announcement, and it is a nice bonus for anyone who picked up the Dark Arisen expansion.
How to recruit Laios and Marcille
- Update Dragon’s Dogma 2 or Dark Arisen to the latest version. The collab is part of the same patch that also fixes several bugs.
- Visit a Riftstone, such as the Grand Riftstone in a major town, and open the Rift.
- Pick View Unique Pawns, then View Official Pawns. Laios is listed as a Fighter and Marcille as a Sorcerer.
- Hire them like any other pawn to fill an open party slot.
VGC reports both pawns are low level, so treat them as a fun early or mid game pick rather than an endgame build. They are only around until the Jan 28, 2027 title update on every platform, so hire them while you can.
How to get the free outfits
You do not need to do anything special. Load your Dragon’s Dogma 2 or Dark Arisen save data while the event is running and the gear is added to your storage automatically. Capcom says you keep it after the event ends. The set includes:
- Laios: Laios’s Armor, Knee Guards and Rucksack
- Marcille: Marcille’s Robe, Breeches and Rucksack and Cape
Every piece can be worn by any Vocation, and both your Arisen and your pawns can use it. If you prefer your current stats, Dark Arisen’s tailoring lets you change how your gear looks, so you can dress your party like Laios and Marcille without giving up your best armor.
Switch 2 timing
Capcom lists the Switch 2 update for Nov 11, while some outlets report Nov 12, likely due to time zones. Either way, Switch 2 players get the same pawns and outfits, and the same Jan 28 end date.
Is it worth logging in for?
Yes, even if you finished the game. Booting up once during the event is all it takes to keep two full outfit sets forever, and they are some of the most recognizable looks in recent anime. Do it before Jan 28 so you do not miss out.
