Ironmace will take part in major game shows in North America and Japan after ChinaJoy in China. It plans to present hands-on content for "Dark and Darker" to local users and broaden contact points with existing users.

Ironmace said on Wednesday it will attend "PAX West 2026" in the United States in September and "Tokyo Game Show 2026" in Japan.

PAX West 2026 will be held from Sept. 4 to 7 at the Seattle Convention Center in the United States. Launched in 2004, PAX West is a leading B2C game event in North America that draws tens of thousands of visitors each year.

Tokyo Game Show 2026 will be held from Sept. 17 to 21 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. Marking its 30th anniversary this year, it expanded the event period to 5 days for the first time, and will run Sept. 19 to 21 as public days for general visitors.

Ironmace will set up booths in the B2C halls at both events. The booths will feature mini-game content designed to let visitors experience "Dark and Darker" dungeon exploration and extraction elements in a short time. It also plans to unveil new goods.

It will also run on-site events for existing users. During the events, "Dark and Darker" users who visit the booths can receive special goods after a verification process.

Ironmace took part in the B2B hall at "ChinaJoy 2026" held in China from July 31 to Aug. 3. At PAX West and Tokyo Game Show, it plans to operate B2C booths for general visitors to meet local users directly.

An Ironmace official said, "North America and Japan are key markets with many core users who have enjoyed 'Dark and Darker' for a long time, so we decided to participate in the two events to meet and communicate with users directly." The official added, "We prepared content so that visitors experiencing the game for the first time can also experience the core fun."

Meanwhile, "Dark and Darker" is an extraction-based player-versus-player and player-versus-environment (PvPvE) game in which players explore dungeons in a medieval fantasy setting, battle other users and monsters, secure loot and escape.
