Summary

  • Dark and Darker Mobile is set for a global beta test in August, with over 50,000 applicants showing excitement for the game.
  • Player concerns about monetization are addressed by Krafton, assuring a non pay-to-win format for the game.
  • The target launch year for Dark and Darker Mobile is 2024, with overwhelming positive feedback from beta testers.

Dark and Darker Mobile has set a window for the release of its next beta test: August. Gamers are anticipating the release of the mobile version of the dark fantasy mobile game Dark and Darker, which itself does not have a full release, but had an early access launch in 2023. Dark and Darker Mobile appears to be adapting the game in a similar vein to releases like PUBG Mobile, which Krafton published in Korea and Japan.

Some gamers have gotten the chance to share impressions of Dark and Darker Mobile already, and while the overall reception appears to be quite positive, it will be important for developer Bluehole Studio to walk the line of monetization carefully. Free-to-play games offer plenty of fun for gamers. However, many have noted losing interest in games depending on how aggressive the monetization becomes. It may not be long before a larger audience can form their own opinion, though.

A global beta test has been announced for Dark and Darker Mobile. Bluehole Studio and its parent company Krafton are targeting August for the test in major global markets, which will include the United States, Japan, and Turkey. Some gamers have expressed their excitement about getting the chance to try out the game, which promises players the thrill of fighting off various monsters and creatures while journeying for loot. Dark and Darker Mobile appears to be rising in popularity, with the initial beta test receiving over 50,000 applicants.

Dark and Darker Mobile Locks in Beta Window

Although some gamers are concerned about the way aspects like monetization will work in Dark and Darker Mobile, Krafton has confirmed that the game won't operate in a pay-to-win format, so players can rest assured that their hard work looting dungeons and escaping portals at the right time won't go without a reward. Krafton has stated that its priority is keeping players excited about the game itself and the fun that experience can provide.

Krafton maintains that 2024 is the target for Dark and Darker Mobile's global launch, so it seems that players who do not get the chance to try out the new beta test won't have to wait too much longer to play the official release. Krafton and Bluehole conducted a survey to collect feedback based on the beta test, where over 97% of players stated that they are willing to play the game when it releases. This could lead to a great launch for the game when it is ready.
