Krafton has taken a significant step in distancing itself from Ironmace Studios' ongoing legal disputes with Nexon by rebranding Dark and Darker Mobile to Abyss of Dungeons. This name change primarily affects the title and possibly some elements specific to Dungeons & Dragons, but the core gameplay mechanics are expected to remain unchanged.
For those unfamiliar with the situation, Ironmace Studios is currently entangled in a legal battle with Nexon, who alleges that Ironmace misused trade secrets. The claim centers around the notion that Ironmace, founded by former Nexon employees, utilized assets or ideas developed during their tenure at Nexon to create Dark and Darker.
Despite the ongoing lawsuit, the rebranding to Abyss of Dungeons has now been confirmed, aligning with earlier rumors from February about a potential name change.
No Difference
Rest assured, the shift to Abyss of Dungeons does not alter the fundamental gameplay mechanics. While Dark and Darker Mobile had already introduced significant changes, such as a third-person perspective, the essence of the game remains intact.
This development might be disappointing for fans of Ironmace, but there's hope that the legal issues will be resolved soon. Meanwhile, enthusiasts can look forward to Abyss of Dungeons as a companion to the main PC version of Dark and Darker, especially with a soft launch scheduled for June 11th in Brazil, Thailand, Indonesia, and Mexico.
