Dark & Darker Mobile could be getting a name change from Krafton

Krafton's termination of its agreement with Ironmace will result in a name change for Dark and Darker Mobile. While Krafton denies a connection to the recent $6 million lawsuit ruling against Ironmace by Nexon, the timing is certainly suspicious. The lawsuit centers on allegations that Ironmace, founded by former Nexon employees, used trade secrets from a cancelled Nexon project (codenamed P3) to develop Dark and Darker.

Despite the controversy, and the termination of the licensing agreement, Krafton intends to proceed with the global launch of the mobile game, albeit under a new name. This makes the mobile version a fully independent release. The irony isn't lost on observers: Ironmace initially sued for copyright infringement, and now, despite the partnership ending, Krafton appears poised to continue development. This situation may open the floodgates for similar game releases.

The planned global launch date for the rebranded Dark and Darker Mobile remains unchanged, according to current information. However, we will provide updates should any changes occur. We hope the final product maintains the high quality we noted in our previous review.
