How many pre-seasons can one game have? If you’re Dark and Darker Mobile, the answer is three, especially since the newly launched Pre-season 3: Grappling with the Abyss is also offering up a bunch of new things to do as the so-called soft launch of the mobile PvPvE extraction RPG rolls on.
The new patch is headlined by the addition of two new modes: the PvP-only arena mode, which pits two teams of three against each other in a best-of-five deathmatch brawl; and Shadow Realm, a PvE-only gauntlet that challenges teams to take down enough enemy waves to summon a boss fight every week.
In addition to the new modes, the patch also lets guilds that are level three put together a guild encampment that lets guildies hang out together in a social space to chat, strategize, and check out member info. We also presume there will be lots of running around in circles since that’s part of the universal language of multiplayer games.
There are a number of general gameplay additions as well, chief among them being the new soulstone system that lets players equip monster traits and a stat tree system that grants characters stat bonuses and lasting traits, though respecs have to be bought with gold. The patch further adds a lich boss in the Forgotten Castle Inferno complete with new goodies and several quality-of-life updates that include harder hitting monsters, merchants in advanced dungeons, UI updates, and performance improvements. All of the details await in the patch notes.
