The holiday season has arrived, which means that almost everyone is out looking for something special for their loved ones. As part of its yearly tradition, theEpic Games Storehas decided to give back to its users by offering a small change to their usual weekly free games promotion. Serving as a countdown into the new year, the titles that’ll be available at no extra cost have been gift wrapped, and they’ll only open just as they go live on theEpic Games Store. This promotion is not only festive, but it adds to the suspense of what fans can expect.
However, not everyone is a fan of having to wait until the day of to see what’s being given away. Some players like to plan ahead in advance, reading up about thegames that the Epic Games Store announces each weekto decide whether they should get it for themselves. Luckily, this is where leaks typically give those who want to know what to expect from the storefront ahead of time the information they wish to know. This time, reliable leaker Billbil-kun has stated that December 20 might featureDNF Duelon the Epic Games Store’s Mystery Games promotion.
Fighting Game DNF Duel Explained
DNF Duelis a fighting game that captures everything that Arc System Works is known for, but with simpler mechanics. The title is a spin-off of theDungeon & Fighterseries, which is often shortened to “DNF,” hence the fighting game’s name. As a result,DNF Duelserves as a celebration of what was, at the time of its 2022 release, 17 years of history of the RPG franchise. As it was developed by an iconic development studio in the fighting game genre,DNF Duelis full of masterful combos, aiming to blend RPG strategy and fighting game action all in one.
It seems that trying to blend these two genres together while also remainingperfectly welcoming to fighting game beginnershas harmed howDNF Duelperforms, though. While it has been reviewed well by a handful of critics,DNF Duelsits with player opinions that seem to paint it as a game that players either love or hate with hardly any in-between. With that in mind, if the title is made available for free as an Epic Games Store Mystery game, being able to claim the game for free is a great way for fans to try it out and see where they stand with it.

The keyword in this situation is most certainly ‘if." Billbil-kun who’s stated that DNF Duel is the next Mystery Game has no definitive evidence. However, billbil-kun has an impressive track record with other leaks. It may be likely, but it isn’t confirmed until the deal is revealed officially.
Considering that the Mystery Games promotion has seemingly lessened the number of freebies it gives away each week, those who aren’t too fond of fighting games may be a bit sad that they’re going to have to sit this week out if this truly turns out to be the case. At the same time, due to howDNF Duelaims to invite newcomers into the genre, fans may discover a brand-new favorite game if they’re willing to give the game a chance. If not,2023 was filled with great freebies on the Epic Games Store, and 2024 will likely be the same.
