DNF Duel Confirmed for PS5, PS4, Open Beta Begins This Weekend

Who's next?

by Robert Ramsey Mon 13th Dec 2021

DNF Duel is set to be a fighting game that's well worth keeping an eye on. Developed in part by the genre geniuses over at Arc System Works, it's shaping up to be another gorgeous beat-'em-up from the creators of Guilty Gear Strive and Dragon Ball FighterZ.

Up until now, DNF Duel didn't even have any confirmed platforms — but out of nowhere, we're getting an open beta on the 17th December, for both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. It'll be available to play until the 20th December.

All of the character trailers so far have looked great, so here's hoping that DNF Duel lives up to expectations. Are you ready for another Arc System Works fighter? Don't drop your combos in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

I’m hoping they just have a million employees cause otherwise those people really need a rest.

@nessisonett ASW is bigger than most people think (it's got multiple main teams and it's expanded quite a lot — especially over the last few years) but yeah, these developers just never seem to stop. Been churning out quality fighting game after quality fighting game for the entire PS4 generation, and there's no sign of them slowing down.

Hi there fellow gamers.
So, completely out of nowhere, DnF Duel gives us another character trailer and a Open Beta on the exact same days as KOFXV..... I wonder why they made that decision.....
This weekend it´s going to be kinda crazy with fighting games.
Gonna try my mains K´ and Ryo Sakazaki in KOFXV and I´m quite curious with Grappler and Hitman on DnF Duel.
Arc System Works and 8ing for the win.
Cheers, stay safe good people and happy Fight gaming to us all
