KRAFTON announced on the 17th that the creative studio Bluehole Studio is soft launching its new title 'DARK AND DARKER MOBILE' in the Canadian region this February.
DARK AND DARKER MOBILE conducted two major tests for global users last year and participated in 'Gamescom 2024,' the world's largest gaming fair. Based on user feedback gathered from the tests and the gaming fair, the development is ongoing to enhance gameplay enjoyment and add various content. Following the soft launch in the Canadian region, which will take place at 9 a.m. on February 5th, there are plans for a phased global release within the first half of this year.
Information about future changes to the game will be gradually released through official channels like the DARK AND DARKER MOBILE Discord. First, adjustments will be made to the 'Darkswarm' system and escape mechanics to enhance the fun of free exploration and escape, and the structure of the dungeons will be improved for smoother party play. Skills will be refined to enhance the differentiated basic attacks and combat styles of each class, allowing for more diverse play experiences based on the choice of weapons and skills.
The ways in which users can express their individuality within the game will also change. Character customization features will be enhanced, allowing players to create their unique characters, and various costume items will be available to experience a variety of visual effects. The mercenary system will also be improved, with special mercenaries possessing unique appearances, illustrations, stories, combat styles, and special abilities that are not available with basic mercenaries.
A season system will also be introduced. As the seasons change, new dungeons, classes, and various new content will be available, with unique themes and objectives set for each season, allowing for season ranks to be achieved based on the results. There will also be a seasonal achievement system that enables players to enjoy the next season more comfortably based on the key growth elements achieved in the previous season.
