Duet Night Abyss ditches gacha for Warframe’s monetization model

by

It’s free in all senses.

The highly anticipated free-to-play game with an anime-style RPG feel, Duet Night Abyss, is creating quite a buzz in the gaming community because it’s shying away from the common gacha features found in similar games. In contrast to its peers, Duet Night Abyss will be entirely free to play without any pay-to-win mechanisms that pressure players to spend their own money. Pan Studios has confirmed this, ensuring a fair and accessible gaming experience for all.

In a live broadcast, Pan Studio unveiled not only the launch date of Duet Night Abyss, but also discussed its updated monetization strategy and methods for players to acquire fresh weapons and characters. Here’s an overview of what we currently understand about the gacha-free freemium game model of Duet Night Abyss.

All characters & weapons are free to earn in Duet Night Abyss

In the game Duet Night Abyss, every player is given the opportunity to access all characters and weapons for free without any time constraints, be it temporary or permanent. This means there’s no need to worry about fearing missed opportunities (FOMO) or being tempted to spend money due to special character or weapon banners.

players can opt to purchase characters and weapons using premium currency, similar to how it works in Warframe or The First Descendant.

Additionally, users have the option to buy character costumes and additional decorative items using actual currency. This method, as the creators emphasized, forms the foundation of their earnings strategy.

In Duet Night Abyss, you won’t find a stamina system that limits your gameplay. Traditionally, such systems are implemented to prevent players from exhausting all game content too quickly and to encourage regular logins. However, in this game, there will be no restrictions on daily grinding of content thanks to the absence of any Sanergy limit.

Duet Night Abyss, like Warframe before it, employs a similar monetization strategy. Since Digital Extremes launched their free-to-play looter-shooter over a decade ago, it has attracted and maintained a vibrant player base, thanks in large part to regular updates. If Duet Night Abyss continues to prioritize the time and money of its players after release, it may follow in Warframe’s footsteps and achieve similar levels of success.

Duet Night Abyss arrives on October 28, 2025, for Android, iOS, and PC (Epic Games Store).
