GunZ: The Duel has a history that extraordinarily unique. I've condensed the entire game's history from 2004-2025 into a 3 hour long timelined documentary from start to finish. This game is so dynamic in every way, and there's hundreds upon hundreds of more stories to tell within this game. I wanted everything before Steam GunZ to not get forgotten going back to the MAIET days, the ijji days, the Aeria days, and every big moment in-between.
