The rights to a Dark & Darker mobile game have been acquired by Krafton.
The exclusive rights to a mobile version of Dark and Darker have been acquired by Korean tech giant Krafton from Ironmace, suggesting that a mobile version of the game may be in the works. This announcement comes after months of conjecture over the potential release of Dark and Darker, because Nexon had earlier this year issued an injunction to Ironmace to stop and desist. Now that we have the publisher of some of the top mobile games available on the market behind it, we are even more certain that this will happen.Dark and Darker is a highly anticipated PC game that has been available in early access for less than a month, for those who are unaware. While Ironmace denies any wrongdoing, it acknowledges that a return to Steam is in Valve's hands and that it can understand the hesitation with ongoing investigations. We say it's been out in early access, but those who want to check it out have had to jump through hoops due to the ongoing legal situation.The game itself takes place in a horrific medieval fantasy setting and combines unique battle royale and dungeon crawler concepts. The IP is already proving popular with lovers of both genres, despite the problems some are experiencing accessing the game. With Krafton's expertise releasing successful battle royale games, the IP seems ideal for this publisher.Although the deal doesn't quite explain what Dark and Darker's PC edition would include, Krafton's goals are evident. That is exactly what the Senior Head of Gaming Services Business at Krafton says in the quotation that follows. "We really value the different opinions expressed by the original IP's worldwide admirers. Furthermore, we hope that the original IP's potential, which had opened up new possibilities for the worldwide market, would endure.
