Dark and Darker Mobile is now Abyss of Dungeons in long-awaited name change
Will also launch in Brazil, Thailand, Indonesia and Mexico
- Dark and Darker Mobile is now named Abyss of Dungeons
- Aside from that, there are few, if any changes
- But it signals Krafton distancing themselves from Ironmace's ongoing legal issues
Krafton, in their attempt to distance themselves from Ironmace Studios and their ongoing legal battles with Nexon, have finally moved forward with their rebrand of Dark and Darker Mobile. Now titled Abyss of Dungeons, it's seemingly only the name (and likely some other D&D-specific elements) that are likely to change.
If you aren't already clued in, Ironmace Studios has been embroiled in an ongoing legal battle with Nexon over allegations of misuse of trade secrets. Nexon, essentially, argued that Ironmace (founded by ex-employees) had made use of assets and/or ideas from their time at the company, which they developed into Dark and Darker.
Regardless of the truth of the matter, the lawsuit is still ongoing, and as we reported back in February, there were rumblings that Dark and Darker Mobile might be getting a name change. And now, with the new name Abyss of Dungeons, it seems to have all come to pass.
The name change, fortunately, doesn't include any other changes to the core gameplay mechanics from what we know. Of course, Dark and Darker Mobile was already diverging heavily from its origin with a new third-person perspective and other alterations, but you won't need to fear a complete switch-around.
Still, for fans of Ironmace, this is sure to be a bit of a downer. Hopefully, the studio's legal battles will come to an end soon, and fans who enjoy Dark and Darker will be able to take Abyss of Dungeons as a complement to the main PC release. Especially with an upcoming soft launch set for June 11th in Brazil, Thailand, Indonesia and Mexico!
