FAQ
Is GunZ: The Duel free to play?
Yes. The 2026 Steam remaster is free to play with in-app purchases (cosmetics and convenience items). You can install it directly from the Steam store page — there is no purchase price.
When did GunZ: The Duel come out?
The original GunZ launched in 2003 in Korea (developed by MAIET Entertainment) and ran international service for years through publishers like ijji. The Steam remaster by Masangsoft officially launched on August 13, 2026 (17:00 PDT — August 14 at 00:00 UTC).
Should I play GunZ: The Duel or GunZ 2: The Second Duel?
They are different games. GunZ 2 (2013) simplified movement and never kept the original's competitive scene. The 2026 remaster revives the original GunZ: The Duel — including the K-Style movement system the series is famous for. If you searched for butterfly steps and slash shots, this remaster is the one you want.
