Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen started out as a last-gen title, but it has since come to additional platforms. Most recently, the game launched on Switch. Digital Foundry has now taken a closer look at the port from a technical perspective.
Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen runs at 900p on Switch when docked, which is an upgrade from PS3 original’s 720p resolution. The full aspect ratio is also filled out on Nintendo’s console unlike the PS3 release. However, resolution is a bit lower than that of the PS4 edition’s 1080p. Also, in portable mode, resolution is reduced to 576p.

The official Japanese Fire Emblem Twitter account has introduced another Three Houses character today. Lorenz of the Golden Deer house. He is voiced by Hiroshi Watanabe.
