Dark and Darker Mobile's eagerly awaited pre-season #3, dubbed 'Grappling with the Abyss,' kicks off today and runs until June 10th. Much like the buzz surrounding Sonic Rumble's pre-launch event, this update brings a wealth of new content for soft launch players to dive into. Let's unpack what's in store for fans of this extraction shooter.
One of the headline additions this season is the Arena mode, introducing competitive PvP to Dark and Darker Mobile. You'll be able to engage in intense 3v3, best-of-five deathmatches on randomized maps. To join the fray, you'll need to reach at least level 10 and boast a minimum equipment score of 500. Plus, you can bring along a hired mercenary companion to bolster your team's strength.
Another major feature is the new PvE mode called the Shadow Realm. Here, you'll tackle weekly escalating boss battles against a roster of formidable monsters. But it won't be easy—you'll first need to clear waves of lesser foes to summon the boss, making the journey to the showdown challenging. Access to this mode requires your account to be at least level 15.
**Turn on a light** Alongside these major additions, pre-season #3 brings a host of other exciting features. The new Guild Encampment provides a social hub where Guild members can gather, chat, and socialize. The Soulstone system, unlocked at account level 8, lets you harness the power of monster soulstones to gain unique traits. Meanwhile, the Stat Tree system introduces persistent progression, complementing the new loot, monsters, gear, and numerous quality-of-life enhancements in this update.
