Krafton has announced that the Dark and Darker Mobile launch will begin with a soft release in Canadian soil, beginning 4 February 2025.
After conquering dungeons on PC, Dark and Darker announced a mobile expedition back in 2023. Now the global launch of this loot laden mobile port has a soft launch date launch date. Rather than invite all comer to crash the servers, Krafton will open up this new adventure on to Canadian mobile gamers on 4 February at 7PM EST. This means that a lucky few will be able to head into the Goblin Caves, explore the Forgotten Castle, and experience a realm of deadly dungeons and perilous combat, all for loot and glory.
Dark and Darker Mobile is, as you’d expect, a mobile port of the title’s desktop focused format. Similar to keyboard warriors, this version plunges players into a dark fantasy RPG. A total of 6 classes are available to select and customize, with the usual archetypes like Rogue, Wizard, Cleric, ranger, and more all prepared to forge into battle. A unique set of skills and a dynamic combat system mean a variety of combat options, which will come in handy when the game goes live. More than just massive monsters and demonic foes, anybody looking to get in and out of a dungeon unscathed will need to watch out for other players. Mixing elements of fantasy RPG, extraction titles, and Battel Royale, this medieval maelstrom aims to stand out among the opposition. After a generally positive reception in Gamescom and during previous tests, this is the first opportunity for players to try the title out for real.
While Canada gets in first, the rest of the world will receive a launch date soon, with release confirmed for the first half of 2025. The release news also comes with details about future updates to the overall experience. Key planned updates include adjustments to the “Darkswarm” system and escape mechanics, Class differentiation will be bolstered, while the dungeon structure will be tweaked to make party play better.
