AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS – 11 June, 2024 - KRAFTON, Inc. has announced plans for a global beta test for Dark and Darker Mobile, which is being developed by Bluehole Studio. The test will take place in early August for players in major global markets including the United States, Japan and Türkiye.
Dark and Darker Mobile is an extraction RPG, challenging players to delve into the depths of dungeons and escape with as much treasure as they can carry while fending off threats from fearsome creatures and other players. During each dungeon expedition, adventurers have opportunities to acquire new equipment and loot as they do battle with monsters, rifle through treasure chests, and end the journeys of competing dungeon divers.
The first beta test, conducted in Korea from April 24 to 28, saw overwhelming support from users, with participation requests surpassing the initial cap of 50,000 applicants. The test was subsequently opened to the public to accommodate more players. Survey results from participants indicated that over 97 percent expressed a willingness to play the game again upon its official release.
Aiming for a global launch in 2024, Dark and Darker Mobile plans to gather extensive feedback from both domestic and international users through the test in August. Dark and Darker Mobile emphasizes close interaction with players as a key part of development. Building on the feedback from the previous test, the August global beta test will be improved, and new content will be introduced for players to enjoy.
Detailed information regarding the test schedule, target regions, and how players can apply to participate will be announced on the official Dark and Darker Mobile website and community channels soon.
