New DNF Duel Gameplay Trailer Introduces The Righteous Aggressor, Crusader

Nexon and Arc System Works have released a new gameplay trailer for their upcoming 2D fighter, DNF Duel. This trailer highlights Crusader, who is heavily strength-centric if his gargantuan hammer is anything to go by. As potential compensation for this power, his agility is demonstrated to be lesser than the priorly revealed characters. Additionally, he seems to instill the power of his belief into his skill set, hence the frequency of crosses.

The publisher also announced that from December 17 through December 20, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 players will be able to take part in an Open Beta test.

Characters and details for the test haven’t been revealed, but the newest trailer highlights Berserker, Inquisitor, Grappler, Striker, Ranger, and Hitman. Still, the trailer teases that four more characters will be announced soon with a “Who’s Next” tagline.

DNF Duel very much resembles previous Arc System Works fighters such as Granblue Fantasy Versus but takes on a much darker tone. Additionally, from the teaser reveal trailer, we see that the game is much faster compared to GBFV, which might excite more hardcore fans.

Dungeon&Fighter is an MMO beat ’em up that launched in 2005 on PC in South Korea. The game made its way to the west in 2010, where it was shut down in 2013, and then received a global release in 2015 with English support. There’s also an anime based on the franchise.

We’ll keep you updated on the Open Beta as more details become available.
