Dark and Darker no longer available on Epic Games Store - received notification email

I just got an email saying that Epic Games has pulled Dark and Darker from their store. Has anyone else received this notification? I’m wondering what happened here and why they decided to remove the game from sale.

Was really looking forward to playing this one and now it seems like it’s been taken down completely. Does anyone know if this is temporary or permanent? Also curious if people who already bought it can still download and play it.

Seems pretty unusual for Epic to remove games like this without much warning. Would appreciate any info from others who might have gotten the same email or know what’s going on with this situation.

Still available on Steam if you really want to try it out.

It really sucks since the game seemed promising. Fingers crossed they can work through the legal issues and bring it back soon.

Same here, got pulled right before I could grab it during the sale too.

The game’s actually pretty solid despite all the drama surrounding it. Worth checking out on Steam if you can deal with the uncertainty about its future.

Yeah got the same email yesterday. Pretty sure it’s related to that whole legal mess with Nexon over copyright stuff. Game’s still playable if you already own it though.

This whole situation is pretty crazy. Dark and Darker was shaping up to be a cool game, but with all the drama happening, it’s a real shame. Nexon really took things up a notch by getting all legal. At least it’s still available on Steam for now, but who knows where it’s headed with this lawsuit hanging over it.

This whole thing is a mess honestly. The legal drama between the developers and Nexon has been going on for months now. Nexon claims the devs stole code and assets when they left to make Dark and Darker. Epic probably doesn’t want to deal with the headache while it’s all getting sorted out in court. Wouldn’t be surprised if other platforms start pulling it too until the lawsuit gets resolved.
