Arc System Works announced their latest 2D fighting game project: Dungeon Fighter Duel (DNF Duel for short), based on the Dungeon Fighter Online series.


INB4 "No Persona 5 Arena? Aww "

On one hand, I must say ASW output is quite impressive. Sure, we don't know how long this has been in development, but the fact is they've been working on multiple games that are up and coming, as well as recieving support all during this Covid nonsense.

On the other hand, I worry they are stretching themselves too thin. They're juggling DBFZ, GBFV, GG:Strive and now this (since Cross Tag Battle is done I guess). Is gonna be harder to keep the quality up if they keep pushing this many titles.

As for the music, why do people keep saying that it's gonna have a "GG style soundtrack" and that all ASW fighters have the same style of music? Some people just hear a guitar and they instantly think "GG style soundtrack".

- Blazblue does not have a GG style soundtrack. It’s quite different from the more heavier Rock emphasis of GG.

- Persona 4 Arena does not have a GG style soundtrack. It’s heavily borrowed from their source material with very little actual rock.

- DBFZ granted does have Rock emphasis for a good number of their character themes, but Rock is fitting for something like DBZ.

- GBFV like P4A is heavily borrowed from source material.

What does this mean Dungeon Fighter Duel? Most likely it means that the game it's gonna have a soundtrack that heavily borrows from the source material, and Dungeon Fighter Online happens to have some rock tracks.

It's been almost a year since DNF Duel was first revealed. And now we got another trailer for the game.

No information on the game's release window or targeted platforms are currently known.

EDIT: The new fighter is being developed by Arc System Works in conjunction with Neople and Eighting.

Project L is still early in development and the team at Riot Games clarified that a lot of work still has to be done.
