The First Berserker: Khazan's developer has largely been disbanded
Neople continues to exist, but just of fraction of the 100 people working there will remain with Nexon moving the rest to other projects.
Exactly one year ago, The First Berserker: Khazan was released. There was some hype surrounding the Korean action-adventure game ahead of its release, but mixed reviews prevented it from becoming a hit. And now Yonhap News reports that this is having consequences.
A large portion of the team at developer Neople, which until now numbered around 100 people, has now been reassigned to a resource group called Team R. Neople will continue to exist as a studio, but this is likely the end of the road for future support for The First Berserker: Khazan.
