Dark and Darker now has a publisher, may launch in early access today
Dark and Darker, the Diablo-esque fantasy RPG game, now officially has a publisher. Following a lawsuit against developer Ironmace due to alleged similarities with an unannounced game (currently entitled P3) from Dark and Darker‘s former publisher, Nexon, the game was removed from several storefronts, including Steam.

Dark and Darker is currently listed as ‘coming soon’, as shown in the image of the official listing, screenshotted by PCGamesN.
