Can you imagine a world with no gacha? One game has dared to dream. Duet Night Abyss developers, Pan Studio, have just announced that its highly-anticipated upcoming gacha game will in fact include no gacha mechanics whatsoever. All characters and weapons will be free to unlock in Duet Night Abyss, and all optional purchases in-game will be cosmetic only.
This feels like a pretty wild turn of events for a game that, until a developer stream just a few hours ago, was billed as a full-on gacha game. We're not complaining, of course.
The developer livestream was a massive change for Duet Night Abyss. Not only can you unlock all the weapons and characters in the game by grinding, but all other gacha staples - like stamina and time-gating resources - have also been removed. It seems like the game has been totally reworked to fully remove every shred of gacha from the game.
Duet Night Abyss has been compared to Warframe as players have followed its development journey, and this transition from a gacha game to, well, just a game, feels like Pan Studio is really going to lean into some of the same concepts...
