Krafton has officially rebranded Dark and Darker Mobile as Abyss of Dungeons, marking a clear separation from Ironmace Studios amid ongoing legal disputes with Nexon. Beyond the name change and potential removal of Dark and Darker-specific elements, the game appears fundamentally unchanged.
The renaming follows the prolonged legal conflict between Ironmace Studios and Nexon, alleging unauthorized use of trade secrets and assets from Nexon employees' previous work. As we reported earlier this year, speculation about this rebrand has now materialized.
Core gameplay mechanics appear unaffected by the rebranding. While the mobile version already differed significantly from its PC counterpart with third-person perspective changes, players can expect continuity with previous gameplay experiences.
The rebranded Abyss of Dungeons is preparing for a June 11th soft launch in Brazil, Thailand, Indonesia, and Mexico. This maintains the original rollout plan despite the name change.
