Overview
- Yonhap reported Wednesday that Neople moved most developers of The First Berserker: Khazan to other projects, and Nexon later told GamesRadar+ this was a planned reshuffle.
- Nexon says the change is not a layoff or a team dissolution, with staff staying employed across Neople and other Nexon affiliates.
- The action RPG earned strong reviews but missed internal sales targets, a gap outlets link to a delayed China release and heavy competition from bigger releases.
- The developers who built Khazan are no longer organized as one unit, leaving the game’s next steps unclear and with no stated plans for more content.
- CEO Junghun Lee recently called Khazan proof that Dungeon & Fighter can reach global players, and Nexon says it is preparing a China launch with Tencent as part of its wider pipeline focus.
