Dark and Darker Mobile has been renamed to Abyss of Dungeons
Story Highlights
- KRAFTON has officially renamed Dark and Darker Mobile to Abyss of Dungeons.
- Despite the new name, the gameplay experience is confirmed to remain unchanged.
- Abyss of Dungeons is still expected to launch globally in the first half of 2025.
KRAFTON officially unveiled that their mobile dungeon crawler, previously known as “Dark and Darker Mobile,” has been rebranded to “Abyss of Dungeons.” Today, this new title was formally revealed through the game’s official social media channels.
The rename follows the end of IP licensing between KRAFTON and Ironmace
As a gamer, I’m excited to share that the game’s new name better captures its enigmatic, brooding essence. It’s now about diving deeper into the lore, bracing for richer conflicts, and intensifying the combat experience. Yet, fear not, the core gameplay will stay unchanged. So, it’s just a fresh moniker, but the same thrilling adventure under a new name – Dark and Darker Mobile!
The depths of dungeons are now known as Abyss of Dungeons. Our goal is to make the dungeon exploration experience darker, richer in story, and more challenging with this transformation. Despite the name change, the core gameplay remains unaltered.

It’s not surprising to me that this decision has been made. Earlier this year, there were rumors suggesting that KRAFTON and Ironmace (formerly known as Dark and Darker developers) had terminated their licensing agreement for the Dark and Darker IP. Given that the partnership concluded, a name change was indeed anticipated.
Originating from Bluehole Studio, a subsidiary of KRAFTON, this project was in progress when KRAFTON secured exclusive global rights to the Dark and Darker intellectual properties (IP). At present, the game is actively running in Canada and the United States during its soft launch period.
Adapting to the new name might require some effort initially, but it lays a foundation for the game to develop independently, without being overly dependent on its intellectual property. However, the excitement was initially generated by the same IP. As of now, I’ve observed that both Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store are still operating under Dark and Darker Mobile’s name.
The soft-launch for Abyss of Dungeons will be expanded to Indonesia, Thailand, Brazil, and Mexico on June 11, 2025. It is anticipated that this game will eventually be released globally in the coming months as KRAFTON has suggested a launch date within the first half of 2025. However, no formal announcements regarding global availability have been made yet.
