Dark and Darker Mobile, which Krafton announced as soft launching in Canada on February 4th, will also launch in the US.
The decision was made to expand the test to the US after strong demand. Global pre-registration for the mobile title is already open, and the team at Bluehole Studio says that the expansion of the soft launch into the US was driven by demand. Executive Producer Joonseok Ahn says, in a press release, “The strong enthusiasm from the community encouraged us to accelerate our plans, and we look forward to gathering more feedback as we prepare for the global release”.
The soft launch is currently set to go live on February 4th at 7:00 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT in the US and Canada.
Announced back in 2023, there was enthusiasm after the game debuted a showcase at Gamescom 2024, followed by strong showings in subsequent global tests. The team touts the extensive feedback from those global play tests and the way that they used consumer response to expand the content, enhance and adapt the gameplay, and also to improve performance and mobile optimization.
The soft launch on February 4th in the US and Canada is part of the extended rollout towards a full global launch for Dark and Darker Mobile in the first half of this year.
