Nexon held an online showcase called 2026 DNF Mobile Arcade on the 11th, laying out second-half update plans for Dungeon and Fighter Mobile. The new season, DNF Mobile 2.0, arriving August 13, is built around the values of freedom and lightness. The goal is to move away from a structure that forced a fixed progression path, letting players choose how they want to advance, and to create an environment where even short sessions produce tangible progress. Neople's general director Yoon Myung-jin took the stage to explain the direction personally.

With the season, the character level cap rises from 85 to 90 and a new region opens: Metro Center, the gateway city to the demon realm. The Archer, a base class that did not exist in the original PC game, joins with the advancement classes Muse and Traveler, and the Luke raid is being restructured so that solo play counts as a viable core farming route. Economic changes accompany the update, including a new tradable currency called Gold Coin, and an Inuyasha collaboration is planned for October. After the Chinese service moved under Tencent's management in April, the Korean service now follows an independent path separate from overseas.
