Earlier this year, The First Berserker: Khazan, a new action RPG set in the Dungeons & Fighter (DNF) universe, received some brutal new gameplay. During Gamescom Opening Night Live last night, the game debuted another gameplay trailer, this time showing a much more polished experience without the noticeable frame rate issues from the last trailer. Developer Neople also confirmed that the game will get a technical closed beta test this October on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
The Gamescom trailer for The First Berserker: Khazan is fast, stylish and just as brutal as you expect, inspired by Soulslike action RPG titles like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Nioh. However, the outstanding art direction elevates it above other typical action RPGs in the genre with brutally fast combat as its focus.
The good news is that PS5 and Xbox Series X/S players can get a chance to test out The First Berserker: Khazan this October thanks to a technical closed beta test. It will run from 11-20 October. Those wishing to participate in the closed beta test can sign up right here.
As we just revealed through our #gamescom2024 ONL trailer, we are pleased to announce that a Technical Closed Beta Test for #Khazan will take place this October on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
