Since it disappeared from Valve's platform in 2023, players have been eagerly awaiting the Dark and Darker Steam relaunch. As of Friday June 7, Dark and Darker is back not just on Steam, but the Epic Games Store as well, freeing the RPG from the dedicated Ironmace launcher which had previously been its only home. As part of the comeback, certain sections and components of Dark and Darker are currently free to access, but despite Ironmace's original intentions, players on Steam are sharing criticisms regarding the game's new free-to-sample model. In response, Ironmace says it has "failed" in anticipating players' expectations.
