Dark & Darker Mobile to Soft Launch in Canada Next Month, Full Release in First Half of Year

Krafton's eagerly awaited mobile adaptation of Ironmace's hit extraction dungeon crawler, Dark and Darker, is gearing up for a soft launch in Canada on February 5th. Fans around the globe won't have to wait long, as a worldwide release is expected within the first half of this year. Pre-registration remains open, and players can look forward to new features and enhancements before the global debut.

For those new to the game, Dark and Darker blends the thrill of an extraction shooter with the depth of a dungeon crawler. Whether you're venturing solo or teaming up with a party of adventurers—ranging from fighters and rogues to barbarians, wizards, and bards—you'll navigate a vast dungeon, battling monsters and rival loot seekers.

Following the success of Ironmace's original PC version, Krafton swiftly acquired the rights to develop this mobile iteration. As the global launch approaches, the developers are set to introduce significant updates. Key changes include modifications to the Darkswarm system and escape mechanics, with structural overhauls to enhance party play. Class differentiation will see improvements through new basic attacks and combat mechanics, alongside a broader selection of weapons and skills.

Dark and Darker Mobile is still open for pre-registration on the official website.
