The Seattle court rejected the lawsuit of the South Korean publisher Nexon, filed against the Ironmace studio in April 2023. The company accused the developers of the PvPvE action Dark and Darker of stealing the code and assets of the unreleased P3 shooter.

The district court of the South Korean city of Suwon refused to issue an arrest warrant for Choi Ju-hyun, the managing director of the Ironmace studio. It was requested by the police as part of the proceedings with Nexon.

From April 14 to April 19, Ironmace studio conducted the fifth alpha test of Dark and Darker, which could be accessed by downloading the action build via Torrent. The other day, the developers shared testing statistics.

On April 14, the South Korean publisher Nexon sued Ironmace studio, which developed the PvPvE action game Dark and Darker. A week later, the authors of the game reacted to the lawsuit, calling it groundless.

The proceedings between Nexon and Ironmace studio over the Dark and Darker code and assets have reached court. On April 14, a South Korean publisher filed a lawsuit in the Washington District Court, accusing the developers of copyright infringement.
