The First Berserker Khazan News
2025
May 9
⚫︎ Nexon and Neople have announced that The First Berserker: Khazan will receive its next major update on May 15, introducing two new boss rush modes under the Ultimate Challenge
banner. A second update is planned for late May to early June, bringing additional adjustments, including a buff to the game's Phantom Form Mode.
March 27
⚫︎ Neople has issued a warning to The First Berserker: Khazan players regarding a bug tied to the Primeval Regression Orb. The issue occurs when players reset their level while wearing the pre-order “Hero’s Weapon and Armor” set, potentially resulting in permanent stat loss. The bug can cause stat values to display incorrectly on the status screen, affect upgrade costs using the Lacrima resource, and even reduce some stats below the minimum threshold of 10.
Neople explains that the pre-order gear grants a flat +5 bonus to all stats, which leads to incorrect recalculations if the Orb is used while the bonus is active. A fix is currently in development, and players are advised to avoid respecs while wearing the gear.
March 24
⚫︎ Neople has released a hotfix for the PC version of The First Berserker: Khazan to address a progression-halting bug affecting early access players. Similar issues have been reported on PlayStation and Xbox, with the developer confirming that console hotfixes are in development.
A temporary workaround allows players to recover their save data by reloading the game, though the extent of potential progress loss remains unclear.
