This is Junho Lee, Creative Director of The First Berserker: Khazan. Not too long ago, while I was answering questions on Discord, I had a moment where I suddenly found myself tearing up. One of our players, who had shared so many thoughtful suggestions with us, left a farewell message before setting off on a new journey. Reading their final words really struck a chord deep inside me. When you run an online game, farewells between players and developers usually aren't the prettiest moments. At least, that's been my experience most of the time. If a bond is strong enough, you find ways to stay connected, right? Maybe that's why... a part of me has always been scared of saying goodbye to our players. Even though I knew no meeting or connection could last forever, I kept thinking, "I hope they don't get disappointed in Khazan," or "I hope they don't leave." But this time, the farewell felt different. We hadn't known each other before, but we met through Khazan—talked on Discord, shared our experiences, and rooted for each other. And in the end, we exchanged thanks, wished each other well for what's ahead, and promised to meet again someday. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44781270/5a50ad6019f5278231c9af1336c4775cd8fc619b.png . . . For a few days after that, I found myself stuck in this strange, lingering feeling. And I made a promise to myself: to work even harder—really, really harder—and come back better than ever. When we meet again, I want everyone who once loved Khazan to feel, "Yeah, this is the game I fell in love with," and love it even more. I want this bond between us to become something even stronger. Those were the thoughts that stayed with me. Hmm, writing all this out... it kinda feels like I'm in a coming-of-age manga, haha. This vibe doesn't suit a hardcore action game...! (*Clears Throat*) Hello again, everyone. This is Junho Lee, Director of the Dark Fantasy Hardcore Action RPG, Khazan. Alright, time to get back on track—let's dive into the update news you've all been waiting for. Introducing the Next Update The long-awaited May update is finally here! When we wrapped up the preparation for the official launch and began designing new content, the very first keyword that came to our mind was "boss". Khazan is a mission-orientated game. You can always go back and fight the bosses that you defeated again, and you'll still earn rewards. Want a tougher challenge? Unequip your gear or limit your skills to raise the difficulty as much as you'd like. But for this new content, we wanted to create a special challenge—something different from the usual approach. We had a storm of ideas. Harder. Nastier. More punishing. The kind of challenge that not just anyone could take on. Then, one of our developers said: "Yeah… I probably wouldn't play that." And just to be clear—this person? (He's our Lead Character Designer.) Plays games over 4 hours a day, has earned platin...The First Berserker Khazan review - a bloodthirsty homage to SekiroMay 3, 2025 - PCGamesNThe First Berserker Khazan is a brutally hard soulslike and a grimdark spinoff from Nexon's Dungeon and Fighter series.

This is Junho Lee, Creative Director of The First Berserker: Khazan. First, I want to sincerely thank everyone who's been enjoying Khazan. Every time we watch gameplay clips shared on platforms like YouTube and TikTok, the entire dev team—including myself—is both amazed and deeply moved. Since Khazan is a game where the rhythm of combat and overall enjoyment vary greatly depending on how you use combos, we find ourselves watching a lot of combo videos. Every time we see your creative combos and awesome battle scenes, we're not only impressed—we're learning from them, too. And to everyone who's shared feedback on Discord and other communities with the hope of making Khazan an even better game—we truly appreciate it. Main Features of the Upcoming Patch The next patch is ready and is currently awaiting final QA and platform review. We'll share the full details in the patch notes, but for now, here's a quick look at a few of the changes we think you've been most looking forward to. Fix for the "Standing Alone" Achievement We think this might be the one most of you have been waiting for. The achievement has been updated so that it can now be completed as long as you don't summon the Spirit of Advocacy during your second playthrough—even if you summoned it in your first. This is also in response to a question from Discord user hayyeeQQ. Honestly, we'd love to go in and manually complete the achievement for everyone who's already met the condition, but we've found that doing so would require platform-level account changes, which are outside the dev team's control... We're truly sorry about that. Once the patch goes live, all records of having summoned the Spirit of Advocacy will be reset. From that point on, if you defeat the final boss without summoning the soul, the achievement will unlock. Even if you've already completed a third run (NG++), you won't need to start a new game—you can still earn the achievement. Likewise, as long as you defeat the final boss again without summoning the Spirit of Advocacy, the achievement will be completed. Difficulty Change From Easy to Normal You can now switch from Easy to Normal difficulty at any time. Likewise, you can switch from Normal back to Easy whenever you want. (Of course, that part was already possible...) Please keep in mind you can't make changes during your playthrough of the final mission and in the ending zone. Improved Visibility of Hidden Danjin's Jars Previously, there was a feature that used sound and vibration cues when you approached a hidden jar. However, players using a keyboard and mouse could only rely on the sound. To make them easier to find, this patch adds visual indicators to help you spot hidden jars. In addition, both the strength of the vibration and the sound cues have been fine-tuned for improved detection. "Khazan's Memories" Improvements A tutorial has been added to guide players the first time they enter the Khazan's Memories menu.

This is Junho Lee, Creative Director of The First Berserker: Khazan. On March 27, 2025, The First Berserker: Khazan officially launched. While I wrote a developer note filled with overwhelming emotion after our Early Access release, the official launch brought entirely different feelings. On launch day, I stopped by a local game store on my way to the office, pretending to be a customer just to see our title displayed on the shelves. The worry, “What if no one buys our game...” briefly crossed my mind, but seeing more than five people purchase Khazan despite the early hour will remain an unforgettable memory for me. I’m truly grateful for your support and love. I sincerely hope that playing Khazan brings joy to many of you, and I promise we'll work hard to make it an even better game through continuous updates. Following Early Access and since the official release, many of you have left valuable reviews and opinions. We're doing our utmost to carefully listen to each voice from those who have shown interest and love for Khazan, played passionately, and taken precious time to provide feedback. We humbly accept that we may not be able to meet all expectations, but at the very least, we believe that we owe you a clear explanation of why we made certain choices and what we aim to achieve. Thus, I’d like to take a moment to share more detailed explanations about our previous patch. Boss Balance Adjustments The first topic we’d like to address is the boss balance adjustments. After the first balance patch went live, we had a flood of feedback in various forms. Some even suggested that defeating Viper and Maluca before the nerf was an exclusive perk only available to Deluxe Edition owners—but I assure you, that was never our intention. While these changes might appear to make things easier from a simple "nerf" perspective, many players who started after the official release are still facing significant challenges – perhaps even more so than those who cleared the bosses before the adjustments. Let me explain a little further on this topic. Viper As for the actual adjustments made to Viper, we specifically reduced attack damage, stamina, and HP by approximately 12%. We did not make any changes to its still or AI behavior. Viper is one of the bosses we feel most confident about in terms of completeness. It is a prototype monster created during the early stages of Khazan project, and we went through countless iterations to refine it until we were satisfied with the final result. Normally we investigate how players experience the game from both qualitative and quantitative perspectives, and in this case, we evaluated the difficulty by comparing those who played with Deluxe Edition exclusive set to those who didn’t. As you would know, the Deluxe exclusive set offers a strong performance, and having it equipped gives a significant advantage in combat. Our concern was that once the official release opened, many players would be star...
