Three months after removing Dark and Darker, Epic Games is taking further steps to completely erase any traces of the game's existence on the Epic Games Store.

Epic will remove the PvPvE dungeon adventure game Dark and Darker from their game library on November 1, an email sent to the owner said.Players who have purchased the Legend Identity upgrade package will receive a refund, but will not be provided for purchasing Redstone Smash Premium Currency.

“We have removed Dark and Darker from the Epic Games Store on March 5, considering the ruling of the Korean court in respect of the lawsuit between Nexon and game publisher Ironmace,” the email reads. “On November 1, 2025, we will remove Dark and Darker from your game library, by which time you will no longer be able to play the game through the Epic Games Store.”

Taking a game off the shelves is one thing, but removing it from the existing buyer’s library is another thing entirely and a rather rare move.More commonly, games that are removed from digital stores are still available to purchasers.Epic did not elaborate on why this additional step was taken, saying only that the removal action was driven by a South Korean court ruling.

Currently, Dark and Darker is still available on Steam, available for free, and has the same "Legendary Identity" upgrade option as it was before on the Epic Store.
