As a longtime fan of hardcore action RPGs with a penchant for anime aesthetics, I can hardly contain my excitement for Neople’s upcoming masterpiece, “The First Berserker: Khazan.” Having spent countless hours immersed in the universe of “Dungeon Fighter Online” since its global release in 2015, the prospect of delving deeper into this rich, dark world is tantalizing.

The action RPG titled “The First Berserker: Khazan“, created by Korean developer Neople, is set for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on March 27, 2025. If you’re eager to experience the intense gameplay of “The First Berserker: Khazan“, you won’t have to wait too long as a demo will be accessible from January 16, 2025.

Initially unveiled in December 2023, “The First Berserker: Khazan” is an individual-player game that takes place within the same universe as “Dungeon Fighter Online”, a multiplayer beat ’em up game first introduced in South Korea in 2005 and globally in 2015. Remarkably, “Dungeon Fighter Online” continues to be one of the highest-grossing games ever made, accumulating more than $22 billion in revenue by June 2023. Intriguingly, “The First Berserker: Khazan” is said to be grittier than its predecessor, offering brutal, high-speed combat with a unique anime aesthetic. A sneak peek of the game’s first 15 minutes was presented at Gamescom in August; however, a specific release date remains undisclosed. Fortunately, those eagerly waiting for this title now have some answers.

At The Game Awards 2024, it was revealed that “The First Berserker: Khazan” will be available on March 27, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC through Steam. Moreover, Neople and publisher Nexon unveiled a demo scheduled for January 16, allowing players to assume the role of “the ancestor of all Slayers.” All demo progress can be carried over to the complete game. Eager fans were treated to new footage of the game in a fresh trailer, showcasing the apparent influence of the “Berserk” manga series and FromSoftware’s “Souls” games on Khazan. The latest trailer for “The First Berserker: Khazan” boasts the involvement of the Russo Brothers, renowned for their work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, who oversaw the RPG’s production.

The Deluxe Edition, available only online, includes the base game, the “Fallen Star” Armor Set, the “Hero” Armor and Weapon Sets, a digital artbook, the game’s soundtrack, and a 72-hour head start in playing the game.

2024’s The Game Awards was a thrilling event, filled with unexpected moments. One such surprise was the debut trailer for “The Witcher 4”, where it was disclosed that Ciri would be the main character of the game. In an impressive sweep, Team Asobi’s “Astro Bot” won the prestigious Game of the Year award, as well as Best Game Direction, Best Action/Adventure, and Best Family Game.
