The collaboration — which ties the Ryoko Kui manga series to Capcom's action RPG — runs from November 12, 2026 through January 28, 2027 on Nintendo Switch 2, and includes hireable official Pawns and themed outfits.
Background
Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is Capcom's action-RPG entry that builds on the franchise's signature Pawn system.
Delicious in Dungeon is a popular manga by Ryoko Kui that revolves around adventuring and food, and the collaboration merges the two properties by introducing manga characters and costumes into Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen on Nintendo's new handheld-console platform.
What Capcom has confirmed
Capcom has outlined how the crossover content will work in-game.
Players will be able to hire Laios and Marcille as unique, official Pawns: these characters will appear in the game's Pawn pool and can be recruited for parties.
Capcom also confirmed that official Pawns will be available from Riftstones during the collaboration window.
On the distribution of cosmetic items, Capcom said outfits tied to the Delicious in Dungeon crossover will be automatically added to a player's in-game storage when they launch Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen and load their save data while the event is active.
Importantly, Capcom noted that any obtained outfits will remain usable after the collaboration ends, even though the event itself is time-limited.
Practical details
- Collaboration period: November 12, 2026 — January 28, 2027 (Nintendo Switch 2)
- How to obtain Pawns: Hire Laios and Marcille from Riftstones while the event is active
- Outfits: Automatically added to in-game storage on first launch/load during the availability window; remain usable after the event
Capcom has also released a trailer showcasing the Delicious in Dungeon crossover content for Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen.
Players looking for full implementation details, including any platform-specific notes or additional distribution methods, should consult Capcom's official website or the game's eShop listing on Nintendo Switch 2.
For context, Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen continues Capcom's use of the Pawn system as a foundational gameplay mechanic, and this collaboration is the studio's latest crossover effort to introduce licensed characters and themed cosmetics into the game.
Fans of Delicious in Dungeon and Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen can prepare to recruit Laios and Marcille and claim the crossover outfits during the November-to-January event window.
