Dark and Darker Mobile's exciting pre-season #3, dubbed 'Grappling with the Abyss', is now live and will run until June 10th. This season introduces a variety of new content and features, similar to the approach seen in Sonic Rumble's massive pre-launch crossover event with top Sega icons. The trend of providing soft launch players with extensive content is certainly on the rise.
One of the major additions in this season is the Arena mode, which brings competitive PvP to Dark and Darker Mobile. In this mode, players will engage in 3v3, best-of-five deathmatches on randomized maps. To participate, players must reach at least level 10 and have a minimum equipment score of 500. You can also bring one hired mercenary companion into the fray, adding an extra layer of strategy to your battles.
The second highlight is the introduction of the Shadow Realm, a new PvE mode featuring weekly, escalating boss battles. Players will need to clear waves of formidable monsters to summon these bosses, making the journey to the battle itself a significant challenge. Access to this mode is available to players who have reached account level 15.
There's a plethora of other additions in this pre-season #3 update as well. The new Guild Encampment provides a social space where Guild members can interact and socialize. The Soulstone system allows players to equip a monster's soulstone at account level 8, granting new traits. Additionally, the Stat Tree system introduces persistent progression, complementing the new loot, monsters, gear, and numerous quality-of-life upgrades included in this update.
