Surprising twist: Early Access of "Dark and Darker" delayed
The highly anticipated RPG game "Dark and Darker" was supposed to launch in Early Access in the fourth quarter of 2023. However, a legal dispute between the developer Ironmace and the publisher Nexon has led to an unexpected delay. The game has even been removed from Steam, causing a stir among fans.
The reason: Copyright infringement allegations against Ironmace
Nexon is suing Ironmace for alleged copyright infringement, and it seems that this accusation is the reason for the game's removal from Steam. Ironmace commented on the situation in a Discord post: "We really hate not being able to communicate as freely as we normally do, but due to the sensitive situation, we can't reveal too much information at the moment." The developers ask fans for understanding and assure them that they are still working intensively on "Dark and Darker."
The Consequences: Uncertain Future for "Dark and Darker"
The biggest question mark currently hangs over the Early Access release date. With the legal dispute ongoing, it is unclear when or if "Dark and Darker" will be available on Steam again. This could be frustrating for both the developers and the fans, especially considering how much anticipation there was for the game.
What does this mean for players?
For those who were eagerly anticipating the Early Access release of "Dark and Darker", this unfortunately means waiting. The developers are asking for patience and understanding as they try to resolve the legal issues. It is hoped that the situation will be resolved in favor of Ironmace and the fans soon.
Possible impact on key sales
Those who have already purchased a key for "Dark and Darker" or are planning to do so should also keep an eye on the situation. Although the game is currently unavailable on Steam, key sales may still continue. However, it is advisable to stay informed about any updates and wait until the legal situation is resolved if necessary.
