XBOX PARTNER PREVIEW: THE FIRST BERSERKER: KHAZAN SHOWCASES HARDCORE ACTION-PACKED BOSS FIGHT IN NEW TRAILER

Extended gameplay and area boss “Viper” are unveiled in the next chapter of Nexon’s time-honored Dungeon & Fighter franchise

SEOUL – March 6, 2024 – Live during Xbox Partner Preview, Nexon and Neople unveiled a new official trailer for The First Berserker: Khazan, a highly anticipated single-player action RPG from the extensive universe of Dungeon & Fighter (DNF). A unique blend of Dungeon & Fighter’s anime art style and distinct combat system, The First Berserker: Khazan places emphasis on stylish combos, fast dodging, and precise parrying. The trailer introduced audiences to the unique action and darkly-atmospheric visuals of Khazan through an intense battle scene with area boss “Viper”: The First Berserker: Khazan - Gameplay Reveal | Xbox Partner Preview (youtube.com)
 
First teased at The Game Awards in 2023, The First Berserker: Khazan tells the story of the Great General Khazan, the ancestor of all slayers, after he was falsely accused of treason. In this hardcore action RPG, thrilling combat takes center stage with every step of Khazan’s bloody quest for vengeance against those who orchestrated his downfall, marked by a dark fantasy world, gritty, manga-inspired visuals and intense, aggressive and ever-changing styles of battle.
 
The new trailer follows an in-game scene set against the backdrop of the Embars region leading up to a boss encounter with “Viper.” It also highlights key battle scenes during the boss’ first and second phases, never-before-seen combat, executions and Khazan’s impactful burst attacks that ground themselves in Dungeon & Fighter’s trademark punchy, yet edgy cartoon graphics.
 
Alongside the new trailer, Nexon and Neople announced that they will host the second focus group test preceded by the successful first test conducted exclusively in Korea in February.
 
The First Berserker: Khazan will be available for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. For more information about The First Berserker: Khazan, visit the official game website and
