Krafton announced that the number of participants in the on-site demonstration exceeded 10,000 in three days after the opening, while presenting the new mobile game 'Dark & Darker Mobile', which is being developed by Blue Hole Studio, a development subsidiary, at the largest game exhibition in the West held in Cologne, Germany from the 21st to the 25th (local time). This is an unprecedented achievement given the European market, where games on PC and console platforms are dominated, and the nature of Gamescom, Krafton stressed.
The 'Dark and Darker Mobile' booth is the largest experiential space in Gamescom. A total of 90 demonstration devices, including smartphones, tablet PCs, and laptops, have been provided to organize the space so that as many visitors as possible can experience the game themselves. In addition, 120 demonstration devices were set up in a total of three halls, including the demonstration space of the partnership brand Samsung Electronics and TikTok booth 'Dark & Darker Mobile', allowing visitors to experience themselves throughout the venue.
Through this, it can be said that it has proven that mobile games can break the prejudice that they do not work in the European market. Visitors who participated in the actual demonstration enjoyed a lot of things to enjoy, including active manual operation and various classes', It gave evaluations such as 'Graphics and game atmosphere were excellent'.
In November last year, more than 7,000 people participated in the experience by decorating a booth under the theme of 'Goblin Cave', a dungeon appearing in the game at the international game exhibition 'G-Star 2023' held in Busan. This time, it was very popular by realizing a larger experience space under the concept of 'Forgotten Castle', another dungeon.
Famous local influencers 'Lara Loft' and 'Zizaran' also participated in demonstrations and livestreamed them at the booth 'Dark & Darker Mobile'. Ahn Joon-seok, the Blue Hole Studio PD in charge of the development, said, `We are happy to confirm that Western users have high expectations and interest in the `Dark & Darker Mobile` through the on-site demonstrations of the Gamescom field.'We hope that domestic and foreign users will pay a lot of attention and participation in the ongoing global pre-booking.'
Meanwhile, at Krafton and other Gamescom sites, Nexon's hardcore action RPGs such as 'First Bursker: Kazan', Kakao Games' development subsidiary OceanDrive Studios has received positive responses from Western users as it unveiled three new PC and console works such as 'God Save Birmingham', 'Lost Idolons: Witch of Hypocrisy', 'Section 13', 'Pearl Abyss' 'Red Desert', and 'HiveIM' 'Dunjeon Stalkers'.
