The developer of Dark and Darker, Ironmace, has announced the dismissal of Nexon's lawsuit against it for trade secret and copyright infringement. The court ruled in favor of Ironmace, stating that the game does not infringe on Nexon's rights. This marks a significant victory for Ironmace, although the legal challenges are not entirely resolved. Additionally, PlatinumGames has made changes to the shutdown schedule of its Apple Arcade title, World of Demons, while Dark and Darker Mobile is set to launch on mobile platforms this year, with other projects from KRAFTON in the pipeline. Nexon has also decided to scrap its medieval brawler Warhaven due to unspecified shortcomings, and Annapurna Interactive has delayed the release of the narrative adventure game Open Roads for further polishing. Furthermore, Blizzard has canceled its MMO, Odyssey, due to ongoing engine issues despite positive internal reception.
