Krafton has officially rebranded Dark and Darker Mobile to Abyss of Dungeons, marking a significant step in distancing themselves from the ongoing legal disputes involving Ironmace Studios and Nexon. The core of the issue stems from Nexon's allegations that Ironmace, founded by former Nexon employees, misused trade secrets to develop Dark and Darker. While the legal battle continues, Krafton's decision to rename the mobile version underscores their intent to move forward independently.
No DifferenceThe transition to Abyss of Dungeons fortunately maintains the original gameplay mechanics of Dark and Darker Mobile. Despite the shift to a third-person perspective and other modifications, fans can expect the core experience to remain intact. This rebranding, however, may be disappointing for those closely tied to Ironmace, as it signals a further separation from the original game.
Looking ahead, the soft launch of Abyss of Dungeons is scheduled for June 11th in Brazil, Thailand, Indonesia, and Mexico. This development offers hope that, despite the legal challenges, fans of Dark and Darker will soon have a new mobile experience to enjoy alongside the PC version.
