Netflix describes the anime series as such:

Dragon’s Dogma is a hack-and-slash RPG video game series by CAPCOM. It was first released in 2012 for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. The pitch for the game was originally created by director Hideaki Itsuno in 2000 before he was director of Devil May Cry 2; in 2008 production for Dragon’s Dogma was in full swing.
An enhanced and expanded version of the game, entitled Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen was released for its original consoles in 2013 and was then ported to Microsoft Windows (2016), PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (2017), and finally the Nintendo Switch (2019).
A Japan-exclusive MMORPG for the series, entitled Dragon’s Dogma Online, was released in August 2015. It ended service last December 2019.
