Dark and Darker Pulled from Epic Games Store Amid Legal Dispute with Nexon

The extraction RPG faces another setback as Ironmace works to address claims related to trade secret infringement.

Dark and Darker has been removed from the Epic Games Store, with Ironmace citing claims from ongoing legal conflicts as the likely cause.
The legal dispute stems from allegations by Nexon that Ironmace used trade secrets from a canceled project to develop the game.
A South Korean court recently ruled that Ironmace did not commit copyright infringement but must pay Nexon nearly $6 million for trade secret violations.
While the base game is no longer available on Epic, the paid Legendary Status edition remains listed for purchase, adding to player confusion.
Ironmace is exploring alternative solutions to ensure continued player access and has appealed the recent court ruling alongside Nexon.
