Hello, @everyone. We regret to inform you of some unfortunate news.

Epic Games has decided to delist Dark and Darker from the Epic Games Store.

This decision appears to be based on claims made by the opposing party in the ongoing legal dispute. We are currently working to understand the exact reasoning behind this removal.

It seems that the removal process is not yet fully complete, as Dark and Darker is no longer listed, but Dark and Darker: Legendary Status is still available for purchase. Please be aware of this potential confusion.

In preparation for the possibility that Dark and Darker may no longer be playable on Epic Games, we are working on alternative solutions to ensure that players can continue enjoying the game. We will share more details as soon as possible.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

The game was already delisted from steam back in 2023 before being restored in June 2024.

Here’s an article that takes an in depth look at the case that Nexon filed against Ironmace:

      Pay 2 win? You can only get cosmetics from using real money… some cosmetics are char races that will change some stats but they hardly make you win… Getting +1 Agi for -1 Str isnt a huge “pay2win” difference lol

          As a basis of a game… its amazing and unique! Does it have MASSIVE issues? For sure!

          It, like most games nowadays is early access and the company has been through a bunch of crap so development is slow… There are a few “clones” of the idea of fantasy extraction shooters out there but all seem to fall short when it comes to immersion compared to Dark and Darker…

          It is by far most fun at the start of the wipe and gets gradually worse through the season. I personally am hooked as there is nothing else like it out there.

          What most people complain about now is how unbalanced some classes are compared to the rest, which will always happen in a fantasy setting game I think… (Ranged vs Melee vs Magic always have balance issues with hard counters etc)

      It feels more like a dance game to me. Boring and awkward choreographed moves in response to predictable monster moves. Once you’ve learned the moves, then you can pay and play!
