Just like the excitement surrounding Sonic Rumble's massive pre-launch event featuring top Sega icons, the concept of providing soft launch players with a wealth of content is becoming increasingly popular. This trend is perfectly exemplified by the extraction shooter game, Dark and Darker Mobile, as it launches its new pre-season #3, 'Grappling with the Abyss,' which runs until June 10th.

A highlight of this season is the introduction of the Arena mode, bringing competitive PvP action to the game. In this mode, you'll engage in 3v3, best-of-five deathmatches on randomized maps. To participate, players must reach at least level 10 and have a minimum equipment score of 500. Additionally, you can bring a hired mercenary companion into the fray, adding a strategic layer to your battles.

Another significant addition is the Shadow Realm, a new PvE mode featuring weekly, escalating boss battles. To access this mode, you'll need to be at account level 15. Before facing off against the formidable bosses, you must first clear waves of lesser monsters, ensuring a challenging and rewarding experience.

Beyond these major additions, pre-season #3 brings a host of other features. The new Guild Encampment serves as a social hub where players can interact and strengthen their guild bonds. The Soulstone system, unlockable at account level 8, allows you to equip a monster's soulstone to gain unique traits. Moreover, the Stat Tree system introduces persistent progression, complemented by an influx of new loot, monsters, gear, and numerous quality-of-life enhancements.
