Neople and Nexon examine how Dungeon & Fighter drives the Lore and Origin of The First Berserker: Khazan

Developer Neople and publisher Nexon have new details for their upcoming hardcore action RPG The First Berserker: Khazan in a new blog entry that examines how the lore and origin fueling their upcoming title is linked to its parent game, Dungeon & Fighter (DNF).

In DNF, the story behind Berserker class that players can choose are Slayers that have succumbed to the "Khazan syndrome" that trades their sanity for newfound power. DNF has previously detailed how Khazan's rage stems from the murder of his close friend, Ozma, by the emperor of the Pell Los Empire.

With The First Berserker: Khazan, Neople and Nexon are utilizing the game as a way to "introduce new storylines and episodes that have not yet been explored in the source material." When designing the gameplay style of Khazan himself, the developers turned to the Neo: Berserker from DNF as an inspiration when thinking of how they wanted Khazan to embody the concept of a "primitive and powerful warrior."

Learn more about The First Berserker: Khazan in the new blog entry talking about the Lore and Origin of the titular character himself down below. The game is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam), though no release date has been shared.
