What is DNF Duel and why is it regarded as one of greatest modern fighting game failures?

Dungeon Fighter Online is one of the most popular video game franchises in the world and is one of the highest-grossing video games of all time along with the likes of Pokemon and Call of Duty.

In December 2020, it was revealed that a fighting game spin-off, DNF Duel, was in the works in collaboration with Arc System Works. With a massively popular IP such as this and one of the top fighting game developers working on the project, DNF Duel was shaping up to be a massive success.

Instead, the game failed to garner much attention upon launch, and player numbers plummeted. So what happened and how did the game become a flop so quickly?

Today we take a look at how DNF Duel failed to live up to expectations.
