Krafton has taken a significant step to distance itself from the ongoing legal troubles of Ironmace Studios by rebranding Dark and Darker Mobile to Abyss of Dungeons. This move comes amidst Ironmace's legal battle with Nexon, who allege that Ironmace, founded by former Nexon employees, misused trade secrets to develop Dark and Darker. While the lawsuit remains unresolved, the rebranding of the mobile version marks a clear separation from these issues.
No DifferenceThe name change to Abyss of Dungeons does not alter the core gameplay mechanics of the game. Previously, Dark and Darker Mobile had already introduced a third-person perspective and other modifications, but fans can rest assured that the essence of the game remains intact. The rebranding primarily affects elements specific to Dark and Darker, ensuring a fresh start for the mobile version.
For fans of Ironmace, the rebranding might be disappointing, but there's hope that the studio's legal battles will resolve soon. Meanwhile, enthusiasts can look forward to Abyss of Dungeons as a companion to the main PC release, especially with the upcoming soft launch scheduled for June 11th in Brazil, Thailand, Indonesia, and Mexico.
