Dark and Darker is going to evolve with the latest Early Access Hotfix #23. The update lands on December 7, 2023, at 12:30 PM, and is supposed to bring significant improvements and fixes.
Starting from the specified time, players won’t be able to log into the game. Those already in the game will be unable to join the matchmaking pool. However, there’s a 30-minute window for players to complete ongoing matches and exit safely.

Other minor bug fixes

Developer Comments
The update that expands the map pool will be slightly delayed. We are currently in the process of moving to a new office to expand the dev team and decided to push back the large update until after the move is completed. Instead, we have decided to implement some minor fixes with this hotfix. We have also slightly improved the default stats of the ‘Lizardman’ race (+15% headshot protection) as we underestimated the detrimental effects of not being able to equip a helmet. Thank you!
