Dark and Darker Mobile launches massive new 'pre-season #3' update today
Run the boss gauntlet or face off against your fellow adventurer
- Dark and Darker Mobile's new pre-season #3 is coming
- It includes a competitive PvP mode, PvE boss gauntlet and other content
- Expect plenty of quality-of-life feature additions and new mechanics
Just as was the case with Sonic Rumble and its massive pre-launch crossover event with top Sega icons, it seems that the idea of offering soft launch players access to a whole host of content is gaining traction. Which is exactly the case with extraction 'shooter' Dark and Darker Mobile, as pre-season #3 'Grappling with the Abyss' goes live today until June 10th.
The first of two of the major 'evergreen' additions in this season is that of Arena mode, which adds in competitive PvP to Dark and Darker Mobile. You'll compete in 3v3, best-of-five deathmatches against other players on randomised maps. Players will need to be at least level 10 with a 500 minimum equipment score to compete, and you can enter the arena with one hired mercenary companion.
The second big inclusion is that of a new PvE mode, the Shadow Realm. You'll be able to take on weekly, escalating boss battles against a variety of powerful monsters. Of course you'll first need to clear waves of existing beasties to summon said boss, meaning that you'll face plenty of challenge just getting there, which explains why you need to be account level 15 to access this mode.
There's a myriad other additions too in this pre-season #3 update. The new Guild Encampment offers a social space for Guilds that players can chat and mingle in. The Soulstone system lets you equip a monster's soulstone to gain new traits, unlocked at account level 8. Meawhile, the Stat Tree system offers persistent progression, that's alongside more loot, monsters, gear and quality-of-life upgrades coming in this update.
