Dark and Darker Mobile is targetting a release in the fourth quarter of 2024
The mobile adaptation of the game is moving ahead at pace
- Dark and Darker mobile is targeted for a Q4 2024 release
- That's according to new financial reports by Krafton
- The plan is for a period of closed beta-tests and marketing going into the end of the year
Hack-n-slash extraction 'shooter' (emphasis ours) Dark and Darker Mobile is set to release worldwide in the fourth quarter of 2024. As seen in their latest Q1 2024 earning results, Krafton hopes to continue beta-testing through the 2nd quarter of 2024, building towards a global release with a big marketing push in the latter half of the year.
Putting you in the shoes of an adventurer, alone or part of a team, exploring a massive dungeon, Dark and Darker is an extraction 'shooter' with a difference. Rather than firing rifles or pistols, you're wielding swords and spells as you take on D&D-style monsters, traps and other adventurers as you work to escape the dungeon via a portal with all your ill-gotten gains in tow.
Mobile-first for Dark and Darker?
Dark and Darker's mainline PC release has been fraught with issues due to a recent spate of legal action taken against the team, Ironmace Games, by Nexon. Despite a seismic early-access period on Steam, the game was delisted due to this and is currently only available through the official site.
It seems, however, that with Krafton's considerable resources, the mobile release is moving ahead at pace. With other extraction shooter titles like Arena: Breakout Infinite moving to take hold of the market thanks to some poorly-received moves by current chart-topper Escape from Tarkov, it could be that Dark and Darker Mobile is the most prominent version of the game when it launches later this year.
