2023 indie hit has been taken down from online stores, again

Another popular game has been quietly removed from a major online store, and the developers aren’t entirely sure why—at least, not officially. Players logging into the Epic Games Store may have noticed that a certain extraction RPG has vanished, marking yet another twist in an already tangled legal battle.

Ironmace Games has confirmed that Epic Games has delisted Dark and Darker from its store. The studio shared the news on its official Discord server: “Epic Games has decided to delist Dark and Darker from the Epic Games Store. The decision appears to be based on claims made by opposing parties in an ongoing legal dispute.” This marks yet another chapter in the ongoing battle between Ironmace and South Korean publisher Nexon, which has accused the indie studio of using stolen assets to create the game.
