Dark and Darker Mobile will be soft launching in Canada next month, ahead of a phased global launch in the first half of the year. 

Developed by Bluehole and published by Krafton, Dark and Darker Mobile was announced back in 2023, and adapts the PC version from Ironmace into a mobile experience. An appearance at Gamescom 2024 and several successful playtests later, sights are set on the full release.

The soft launch servers will go live on February 4th at 7pm ET/ 4pm PT in Canada. 

Dark and Darker Mobile will have seasonal updates, adding content like new dungeons and classes in each new themed season. Earn season ranks through achievements. The progression system will also let “enjoy subsequent seasons more comfortably” Based on your key achievements from the previous season.

When they announced this soft launch, the team also announced some of the planned updates on the way. These include an adjusted Darkswarm system, some additional escape mechanics that will add options. We can expect improvements for party play through some adjusted dungeon structures, and we'll see some additional class differentiation, through combat tweaks and tuning. Essentially, they're looking to improve the player experience and build diversity, while also making it easier and more fun to play together.

There are also mechanical and technical updates on the way to further tailor the experience on mobile, reducing input errors, improvising the UI, and making loot assessment quicker and clearer.

Character customization options expand, and there will be further variety offered via cosmetics, like costume items. The mercenary system will get enhancements, and we'll also see special mercenaries with exclusive appearances and styles and abilities that aren't available with the standard mercenaries you can get.

With the Canadian soft launch coming soon and the global release soon to follow, pre-registration for the game is already open to all regions, over at the official site.
