The legal battle between publishing giant Nexon and a small group of ex-employees at Ironmace who left to make their own game is only getting uglier. Nexon’s claims (opens in new tab)<\/span> that Ironmace’s Dark and Darker illegally uses code and concepts from its own cancelled “P3” project have so far resulted in a police raid on Ironmace’s South Korean studio (opens in new tab)<\/span> and the official removal of Dark and Darker’s Steam page.<\/p>\n

Ironmace is fighting the claim, having this week published its own evidence (opens in new tab)<\/span> that Dark and Darker was developed from scratch and utilized purchased assets from the Unreal library. Whether or not Nexon has a case against Ironmace, the verdict isn’t likely to come before months of expensive legal proceedings.<\/p>\n
