The dark saga of Dark and Darker seems to be nearing its conclusion, as Epic Games announces plans to remove the game from user's libraries on November 1st. The fantasy dungeon crawler has been embroiled in controversy for quite some time amid allegation that it uses assets stolen from Nexon. Nexon recently scored a big court victory over the claims. Epic removed the game from its store in March, and now it will be removing it from everyone's account. This will affect a lot of users after Legendary Status in the game was a free giveaway around six months ago. And those who paid for a Legendary Status upgrade will be getting refunds. Here's word:

We removed Dark and Darker from sale on the Epic Games Store on March 5 in consideration of a court decision in Korea between Nexon and the game's publisher, IRONMACE. On November 1, 2025, we will be removing Dark and Darker from your library, at which point it will no longer be playable via the Epic Games Store.

Effective immediately, players can no longer purchase Redstone Shards or the Legendary Status upgrades via the Epic Games Store. Players can continue to use the Redstone Shards that they have previously purchased until November 1, 2025.

We will issue a refund to all players who have purchased the Legendary Status upgrade. Refunds will be issued to the player’s original payment method, and where that’s not possible, players will receive a refund to their Epic account balance. We are unable to provide refunds on Redstone Shards.
