The expansion ships for PC, PS5 and PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, with two large patches also revising console performance, Pawn behavior, and Vocation options.","whyItMatters":"Dark Arisen is a second paid pass over a base game that already shipped divisive fast-travel limits and uneven performance, so the expansion's value rests on the patches and the Lost Rites as much as on Norgan itself.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eSome Lost Rites impose party restrictions rather than just harder enemies. One limits the Arisen to their Main Pawn alone; another requires the whole party to enter with specific weapons or Vocations equipped.
