Yes. Characters can grab large enemies such as cyclopes and griffins, climb across their bodies, and attack vulnerable points. The mechanic makes stamina management and vocation choice important during major battles.

Dark Arisen is an expanded release that adds Bitterblack Isle, new enemies, equipment, and endgame challenges. It became the commonly available edition on platforms including Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is a separate Capcom action RPG that revisits core ideas such as the Arisen, Pawns, vocations, and climbable monsters. It is not a direct continuation that requires importing a save from the original game.
