After some astronomically successful playtests, Dark and Darker is getting one more playtest 🌠in April ahead of 🦋its Early Access launch.

In their , the devs at Ironmace say that the most recent playtest "gave us a lot of clues on how to proceed with development. We realize we still have some important questions that need to be answered. It is for this reason we have decided to schedule another playtest prior to our Early Access launch. We hope to test some pretty substan🔯tial additions for this playtest that require a bit more development time than in the past."

That new playtest is scheduled to run from April 14 through April 19. The devs acknowledge that players may be disappointed by the longer downtime between this playtest and the last, but say "we will work ouꦿr hardest to make the next one even better than before." There's no clue yet on what those "substantial additions" might be, however.

The devs have not yet committed to a f🌼irm release window for Dark and Darker in Early Access, though in a , they said a launch in late April or early May was likely. This later playtest could indicate a late𒅌r launch for the game itself, though without a proper release date announced in the first place, we can't really call this a delay.

While the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:success of Dark and Darker h༒as b🐻een impressive, it hasn't been all good news lately. Nexon has alleged that Dark and Darker uses stolen൲ assets from a project it had in the works - a claim Ironmace has vehemently denied.
