Adventurers in Dark and Darker compete for treasure and escape portals, all while trying to survive against various monsters, traps, and other players in the game&#8217;s dungeons.<\/p>\n<div data-embed-type=\"video\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ckK2F6KReAk\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"100%\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/ckK2F6KReAk\" height=\"100%\" width=\"100%\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In a press release, Krafton said the game&#8217;s &#8220;innovative fusion of battle royale survival elements with dungeon crawler exploration&#8221; is a &#8220;perfect fit&#8221; for Kraton&#8217;s catalog. Krafton senior head of publishing Rafael Lim said Krafton has been watching Dark and Darker&#8217;s development with &#8220;great interest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;From the genre to the setting of the overall IP, Dark and Darker tapped into something compelling with its existing PC release,&#8221; Lim said. &#8220;Here at Krafton, we can&#8217;t wait to share these exciting dungeon runs with a whole new community of fans on mobile.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Ironmace is based in South Korea, and consists of several developers who previously worked at Korean gaming giant Nexon. Krafton, too, is based in Korea.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There&#8217;s no word yet on when mobile-minded players might be able to get their hands on Dark and Darker, but the <a data-ref-id=\"1100-6516632\" style=\"text-decoration:none;color:black;\">PC version saw a surprise early access release earlier this month<\/a>. Pulled off of Steam due to a <a data-ref-id=\"1100-6513311\" style=\"text-decoration:none;color:black;\">since-tossed-out US copyright lawsuit<\/a> filed by Nexon against Ironmace, Dark and Darker still isn&#8217;t available on Valve&#8217;s platform and must either be purchased directly through the game&#8217;s <a data-target=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" style=\"text-decoration:none;color:black;\">official website<\/a> or via Korean game distributor <a data-target=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" style=\"text-decoration:none;color:black;\">Chaf Games<\/a>. It&#8217;s currently unclear when the game might return to Steam, where it reached more than 100,000 concurrent players during one of its free playtests earlier this year. Due to the game&#8217;s removal from Steam, <a data-ref-id=\"1100-6513275\" style=\"text-decoration:none;color:black;\">Ironmace asked players to torrent Dark and Darker<\/a> for its final playtest.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Ironmace and Nexon are still embroiled in a legal dispute in Korea, which could give Valve a reason to keep its distance from Dark and Darker until its legal troubles are completely over. Nexon has argued that Ironmace stole ideas, code, and assets from a canceled Nexon project in order to build Dark and Darker. Ironmace has denied those allegations and said <a data-ref-id=\"1100-6511773\" style=\"text-decoration:none;color:black;\">no &#8220;stolen assets or code&#8221; were used in Dark and Darker&#8217;s development<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"js-mapped-ad mapped-ad mapped-mpu_middle mapped-mpu_middle-dart js-seamless-middle-mpu float-right no-inner-space\" data-ad-type=\"mpu_middle\" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"ad-wrap ad-wrap-mpu_middle gpt-ad hide\" id=\"mpu_middle\" data-gpt-page-params=\"{&quot;ppid&quot;:&quot;16912b0d-a09f-408e-9273-8ee40f105e34&quot;,&quot;ptype&quot;:&quot;news_article&quot;,&quot;contentid_nr&quot;:&quot;gs-1100-6517182&quot;,&quot;game&quot;:&quot;dark-and-darker&quot;,&quot;gnre&quot;:&quot;action,role-playing&quot;,&quot;rdate&quot;:&quot;bm52&quot;,&quot;pform&quot;:&quot;pc,mobile,ios-iphoneipad,android&quot;,&quot;publisher&quot;:&quot;ironmace&quot;,&quot;category&quot;:&quot;games&quot;,&quot;user&quot;:&quot;anon&quot;,&quot;verticalName&quot;:&quot;gaming&quot;,&quot;ttag&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;ftag&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;session&quot;:&quot;a&quot;,&quot;subses&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;pv&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;vguid&quot;:&quot;1863cb07-31fc-4ddd-bda5-4882405ad798&quot;,&quot;is_mobile&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;uap&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;uap_c&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;s2&quot;:&quot;article&quot;,&quot;npa&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;rdp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;s0&quot;:&quot;gaming&quot;,&quot;s1&quot;:&quot;gamespot&quot;,&quot;skin&quot;:&quot;gamespot_desktop&quot;,&quot;seg&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;aamid&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG&quot;:[&quot;AU_AUD_96YYE5&quot;,&quot;AU_AUD_R5G6JC&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG_AGE_18-24&quot;,&quot;AU_AUD_4NSBVB&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG_GENDER_MALE&quot;,&quot;AU_AUD_1F044P&quot;,&quot;AU_AUD_E60WY7&quot;,&quot;AU_AUD_IV6TS9&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG_AGE_25-34&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG_AGE_25-54&quot;],&quot;ids&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;bsc&quot;:[&quot;80000200&quot;,&quot;84092032&quot;,&quot;84091001&quot;],&quot;abs&quot;:&quot;-1&quot;}\" data-gpt-slot-params=\"{&quot;pos_nr&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:[&quot;gamespot&quot;],&quot;pos&quot;:&quot;mpu_middle&quot;,&quot;rv&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;sl&quot;:&quot;mpu_middle?T-1000&quot;,&quot;iid&quot;:&quot;unit=mpu_middle|vguid=1863cb07-31fc-4ddd-bda5-4882405ad798|pv=1&quot;}\" data-slot-result=\"collapse\" data-google-query-id=\"CJ3k9ZbDoYEDFVnaFgUdhp8JvA\" data-slot-loaded=\"true\" data-gpt-advertiser-id=\"4886605874\" data-gpt-order-id=\"2710547212\" data-gpt-creative-id=\"138428929214\" data-gpt-line-item-id=\"6268028841\" data-gpt-creative-size=\"[300,250]\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/5441\/aw-gamespot\/news_2__container__\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\">   <iframe id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/5441\/aw-gamespot\/news_2\" name=\"google_ads_iframe_\/5441\/aw-gamespot\/news_2\" title=\"3rd party ad content\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\" tabindex=\"0\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-google-container-id=\"3\" style=\"border: 0px;
