Krafton has taken a significant step to distance itself from Ironmace Studios amid their ongoing legal disputes with Nexon by rebranding Dark and Darker Mobile to Abyss of Dungeons. This rebranding primarily affects the game's title and likely some Dungeons & Dragons-specific elements, while the core gameplay mechanics remain unchanged.
For those not familiar with the situation, Ironmace Studios is currently entangled in a legal battle with Nexon, who accuses Ironmace (founded by former Nexon employees) of using trade secrets and assets developed during their time at Nexon to create Dark and Darker. While the lawsuit continues, Krafton's decision to rename Dark and Darker Mobile to Abyss of Dungeons marks a clear separation from the controversy.
No differenceThe transition to Abyss of Dungeons does not alter the game's fundamental mechanics. Although Dark and Darker Mobile had already introduced changes such as a third-person perspective, fans can rest assured that the gameplay will remain consistent.
This development might be disappointing for Ironmace enthusiasts, but there's hope that the legal issues will resolve soon, allowing fans to enjoy Abyss of Dungeons alongside the main PC version of Dark and Darker. With a soft launch scheduled for June 11th in Brazil, Thailand, Indonesia, and Mexico, anticipation is building.
