Since its Alpha play tests, Dark and Darker has taken the PC community by storm with its addictive gameplay and brutal difficulty. Here is everything we know about the first-person Dungeon Crawler's official release, and whether it will launch on consoles like PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

Will there be a Dark and Darker console release?

Although Dark and Darker is still in development, early play tests have the PC community already obsessed with the hardcore Dungeon Crawler. On December 16, 2022, the Fantasy FPS title received its third Alpha on Steam, which has continued to receive glowing reviews. With all the hype surrounding the difficult PVP, PVE survival game, many have been wondering if it will be coming to consoles. According to developer IRONMACE, a Dark and Darker console release is planned to eventually happen. In a November update, the creators stated, "we hope to eventually support console platforms such as the Xbox and PlayStation." The official Ironmace Games Twitter account reaffirmed this in a December tweet when they replied to a user, "That is the plan, but we'll need to launch the PC version first." So it looks like console players will one day be able to experience Dark and Darker, however, the developer's full focus is on the PC launch first.
