Game franchise inspired anime earlier this year
Neople, Eight and Arc System Works announced on Saturday at the event “Dungeon & Fighter Universe Festival” in South Korea that they are developing the Duel DNF fighting game for Dungeon Fighter Online (Arad Senki) deductible. The game uses Unreal Engine.
Neople, a subsidiary of South Korea Nexon game development company, launched the Dungeon and fighter beat ’em up multiplayer game for PC in South Korea in 2005. The game was released in Japan under the title Arad Senki in 2006. The game was released in North America under the title Dungeon Fighter Online in 2010 and closed the service in 2013. A global version of the game with English text launched later in 2015.
GONZO and GK Entertainment produced the Slap Party: Arad Senki television anime series based on the game in 2009. The show aired for 26 episodes.
LIDEN FILMS produced a new anime in the franchise entitled Arad: Gyakuten no Gear (Arad: Reversal of Destiny, pictured on the right), which premiered in Japan on July 3 (although the show first opened in China in April). The anime, announced as a “2nd season”, was originally scheduled for 2019.
