Dungeonborne, the game that once looked set to compete with Dark and Darker on the fantasy hack-and-slash extraction game front, is throwing in the towel. Developer Mithril Interactive announced today that new account registrations and in-game purchases will be halted on February 28, and the game itself will go dark on May 28.
We got our first look at Dungeonborne in February 2024 and found it in a bit of a rough state, not entirely unexpected given that it was still in relatively early development at that point. It was also very similar to Dark and Darker—close enough that Mithril Interactive made a point of noting that it had "absolutely zero affiliation with Nexon," which had sued Dark and Darker developer Ironmace over alleged copyright infringement.
