We have summarized all information about the surprise launch for you!

The answers to the most important questions

Where did the information come from?

The developers of the Ironmace Games studio recently contacted some content creators and confirmed that the game will be released this Monday evening.
This is an official Early Access release where you can buy and play the game.

Will Dark and Darker be released on Steam?

At the current time, you won’t be able to play Dark and Darker on Steam, but there will be a separate launcher and client – similar to Escape from Tarkov.
The reason for this is the still unresolved legal difficulties, which will probably make a release on Steam more difficult.

But now to the most important point, which probably led most of you here: How can you play Dark and Darker?

You can currently buy Dark and Darker on two websites:
