Choose Your Fighter
It’s been a long time coming, but we are now one week away from the launch of Nexon’s cool-looking fighter,DNF Duel. Y’all excited? I know I am, just for the roster at the very least. The publisher has chosen to stoke the hype fire one last time by releasing the game’sopening cinematic.
Originally announced in 2019, (and widely covered by yer boy since),DNF Duelis a one-on-one fighter adapted from the popular Korean MMODungeon Fighter Online. DNF Duelrepurposes an arsenal ofDFOclasses as individual roster members, including Fighter, Grappler, Inquisitor, Dragon Knight, Kunoichi, and many others. With gameplay designed by Guilty Gear’s Arc System Works, and some very impressive visuals,DNF Duelis looking to make an impact in the coming FGC summer season.
DNF Duelwill feature rollback netcode on PS4 and PC, though will sadly not support crossplay, at least not at launch. In addition to online battles, the fighter will include asingle-player story mode, training facilities, survival mode, a gallery, and more. There is no denying that it is an unknown IP in the fighting game world, and is up against stiff competition from current and upcoming games. But it looks like Nexon’s underdog hopes to come out swingin’ and carve a niche all of its very own.
DNF Duelwill launch on PlayStation and PC platforms June 28. Be sure to check out the dynamic character trailers forBerserker,Grappler,Hitman,Inquisitor,Striker,Ranger,Dragon Knight,Vanguard,Kunoichi,Crusader,Ghostblade,Launcher,Troubleshooter,Swift Master, andEnchantress.
