Abyss of Dungeons: Dark and Darker Mobile's New Name Revealed

Krafton has taken a significant step to distance itself from the ongoing legal disputes involving Ironmace Studios by rebranding Dark and Darker Mobile to Abyss of Dungeons. This move primarily affects the game's name, suggesting that Krafton aims to steer clear of any association with Ironmace's legal battles with Nexon over alleged misuse of trade secrets. Nexon claims that Ironmace, founded by former employees, utilized assets and ideas developed during their tenure at Nexon to create Dark and Darker.

Despite the name change, the core gameplay mechanics of Abyss of Dungeons remain unchanged from what was previously known about Dark and Darker Mobile. The mobile version was already set to differ from its PC counterpart with a third-person perspective and other modifications, but fans can rest assured that the essence of the game will stay intact.

For enthusiasts of Ironmace's work, the rebranding might be disappointing. However, with the legal issues still unresolved, the introduction of Abyss of Dungeons could serve as a complementary experience to the PC version of Dark and Darker. Fans can look forward to the game's soft launch on June 11th in Brazil, Thailand, Indonesia, and Mexico.
