It's possible that Ironmace chooses to disappear for a lengthy amount of time, with Dark and Darker Early Access arriving in late 2023 or beyond. Ironmace made no comment regarding its Early Access plans, other than that it will follow the upcoming April playtest. The bad news is that likely means no more free access to Dark and Darker, but the good news is that the game may soon be available to play without interruption. Ironmace says that the April playtest is a result of the studio's decision to schedule one last event prior to the game's Steam Early Access launch. The April Dark and Darker playtest will once again be free to access, but fans should be aware that this may be the final playtest. When is the Next Dark and Darker Playtest? While many Dark and Darker players were likely hoping for a quicker turnaround, Ironmace says it wants to take the time to add some 'pretty substantial additions' to the game. Ironmace confirmed on its official Discord that Dark and Darker will return for Alpha Playtest 5 between April 14 and 19, likely with additional days added toward the end like with prior tests.

New features included the solo Goblin Caves experience, in-game voice chat, additional weapon, armor, and spell options, and much more. Like with previous playtests, Ironmace added a substantial amount of new content to the game for testing. The playtest ran from February 6 through February 16 and, according to Ironmace, was tried by over two million players on Steam. The latest news from Ironmace has been delivered following the wrapup of its most successful playtest yet, the Dark and Darker Alpha Playtest #4. Now Ironmace is preparing for Dark and Darker's next chapter, but not before it provides fans one more opportunity to try before they buy. The dramatic rise in popularity of Dark and Darker since the game first started playtesting, going from an unknown indie PC project to a viral success over a span of months, has been a sight to behold. Dark and Darker developer Ironmace has announced its plans for the fantasy Escape from Tarkov-like's next, and final, free playtest.
