Dragon\u0026#39;s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is an extended release of the action RPG with a new winter-themed area and bosses. The preview allowed hands-on time with the PlayStation 5 and Switch versions, exploring the snow area and new dungeons. The comrade AI system proved intuitive, with allies healing, attacking from distance, or distracting enemies.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMega Man Dual Overdrive was also on display, continuing the spirit of previous mainline entries while adding to the formula.
