AI Summary

The 2025 DnF Festival has arrived at KINTEX with a massive setup. Fans are celebrating 20 years of history with various zones and collaborations. The event features everything from mini-games to esports stars.

The 'Dungeon & Fighter' (hereinafter 'DnF') offline event, the '2025 Dungeon & Fighter Festival', is being held at KINTEX in Ilsan for two days starting from the 22nd. This year's festival is particularly notable as it is being held on the largest scale ever, utilizing two massive exhibition halls, following the game's record-breaking success this year and the unfortunate cancellation of the 20th-anniversary event last summer.

At the venue, visitors can explore installations documenting 20 years of 'DnF' history, enjoy various mini-games, and browse booths showcasing the creative flair of the community's fan art. You can also find collaboration merchandise from popular IPs like 'Where's Wally?', gaming brand 'Razer', and 'Hallasan Soju'. Gamemeca captured the electric and passionate atmosphere of the 2025 DnF Festival, which was enough to make you forget the biting cold outside.

‘던전앤파이터(이하 던파)’ 오프라인 행사 ‘2025 던전앤파이터 페스티벌(이하 던파 페스티벌)'이 22일부터 이틀 간 일산 킨텍스에서 열립니다. 특히 이번 던파 페스티벌은 ‘던파’가 올해 역대 최대 흥행을 기록했을 뿐 아니라, 지난 여름 20주년 행사가 아쉬움 속에 취소되었던 만큼 두 개의 대형 전시장을 빌려 역대 가장 큰 규모로 개최를 예고했죠.

현장에서는 20년 ‘던파’의 역사를 담은 조형물과 각종 미니게임, 그리고 유저들의 개성 넘치는 2차 창작 부스까지 모두 관람할 수 있었습니다. 여기에 인기 IP ‘월리를 찾아서’, 게이밍 브랜드 ‘레이저’ 그리고 ‘한라산 소주’의 컬래버 상품들도 만날 수 있는데요, 추위를 잊을 정도로 열정적이고 뜨거웠던 2025 던파 페스티벌 현장을 게임메카가 사진으로 담았습니다.
