Dark & Darker Mobile to Soft Launch in Canada Next Month, Full Release in Early 2023

Krafton's eagerly awaited mobile version of Ironmace's popular extraction dungeon crawler, Dark and Darker, is set for a soft launch in Canada on February 5th. Fans worldwide can look forward to a global release in the first half of this year, as confirmed by the latest updates.

Dark and Darker merges the thrill of an extraction shooter with the classic elements of a dungeon crawler. Players can venture solo or team up in parties, embodying roles like fighters, rogues, barbarians, wizards, bards, and more, as they navigate vast dungeons. The challenge? Confronting monstrous foes and rival loot-seekers in a quest for treasure.

The original PC version from Ironmace caused a significant stir in the gaming community, prompting Krafton to quickly secure the rights for a mobile adaptation. As the global launch approaches, Krafton is enhancing Dark and Darker Mobile with several key updates. These include modifications to the Darkswarm system and escape mechanics, with structural overhauls to enhance party play. Additionally, class differentiation will be refined with more basic attacks and combat mechanics, alongside a broader selection of weapons and skills.
