Krafton's eagerly awaited mobile version of Ironmace's popular extraction dungeon crawler, Dark and Darker, is gearing up for a soft launch in Canada on February 5th. Fans around the globe won't have to wait much longer, as the game is slated for a worldwide release in the first half of this year.

For those new to the game, Dark and Darker combines the thrill of an extraction shooter with the depth of a dungeon crawler. Players can venture into the vast dungeon either solo or in a party, embodying various D&D-inspired classes like fighters, rogues, barbarians, wizards, and bards. The objective? To battle monsters and rival loot-seekers to emerge victorious with your spoils.

The original PC version from Ironmace made a significant impact upon its release, prompting Krafton to swiftly secure the rights for a mobile adaptation. As the global launch approaches, the developers are not resting on their laurels; they're actively working on enhancing the game further. Among the planned updates are modifications to the Darkswarm system and the escape mechanics, alongside structural changes to facilitate better party play. Additionally, class differentiation will see improvements with new basic attacks and combat mechanics, and players can look forward to a broader selection of weapons and skills.
