Patch Notes

2025.05.12

Adventurers,

Greetings, Adventurers. This is the Dark and Darker Mobile Team.

Here are the patch notes for the maintenance scheduled for May 14 (Wed).


This patch will introduce balance adjustments made in response to player feedback as well as improvements to dungeon entry and matchmaking rules.

While we are always reviewing player feedback, it may take some time for our team to evaluate possible solutions and conduct testing before applying changes in-game.

That said, we remain committed to carefully looking over your suggestions and will continue work to deliver improvements more quickly.


Further details on the maintenance schedule will be shared via an additional announcement.
