Officially named “Dungeon and Fighter: Origin”, the action game, developed by Korean firm Nexon, is a mobile adaptation of the “Dungeon and Fighter” computer game, one of the world’s most profitable computer games.

The game first came to light in 2017 when Tencent obtained government approval for a release before its approval was revoked. Tencent obtained a new license for the game this February.
