We Asked the Duet Night Abyss Team about Warframe, Drip Marketing, and the Removal of the Character Gacha
The Duet Night Abyss team made a surprising move by removing the gacha system before the game's release. As one of this year’s most anticipated gacha titles, Duet Night Abyss—set in a demon-overrun world—combines elements from Wuthering Waves and Warframe to create a compelling free-to-play experience.
Development Journey and Player Feedback
We spoke with the game's producer, Deca Bear, to learn more about the choices made after beta testing, the inspirations behind the game, and its future direction.
"Over the past two years, Duet Night Abyss has undergone one technical test, two closed beta tests, and one confidential test. Throughout these, we've gathered extensive player feedback and suggestions."
Deca Bear added that the team has continuously refined various game aspects—combat mechanics, story pacing, and monetization—aiming to deliver a more thrilling, immersive, and player-friendly combat experience based on this input and market trends.
Focus on Player Experience and Monetization
The development team prioritized crafting a system that enhances player engagement without relying on typical gacha mechanics, reflecting a thoughtful response to feedback and market demands.
