Author:Kristen Update:Jan 05,2025

Nexon's flagship franchise, Dungeon & Fighter, is expanding with a new entry: Dungeon & Fighter: Arad. This departure from previous titles introduces an open-world adventure, a significant shift for the series.

The debut trailer, unveiled at the Game Awards, showcased the game's 3D open world and a diverse cast of characters, many of whom are speculated to be familiar classes reimagined.

Dungeon & Fighter: Arad promises open-world exploration, dynamic combat, and a wide selection of character classes. A strong narrative focus is also emphasized, featuring new characters, engaging interactions, and the inclusion of puzzles.

Beyond the Familiar Dungeons

The trailer's stylistic choices suggest a possible influence from MiHoYo's successful game formula. While visually appealing, this departure from the series' established gameplay might risk alienating some long-time fans. However, the high production values and significant marketing efforts (including advertisements at the Game Awards venue) suggest Nexon is confident in Arad's success.
