Nexon and Neople also revealed a behind-the-scenes video that explores Khazan's story within the broader DNF universe, highlighting key figures and providing additional context for its engaging narrative. The video shows that Khazan transitioned from being a barbarian to the Great General of Pell Los, revered as a hero of the Empire, before being falsely accused of treason by the emperor and exiled to the mountains. On his quest for vengeance, he encounters the mysterious Blade Phantom, who grants him new powers along the way.

First unveiled at The Game Awards in 2023, The First Berserker: Khazan tells the story of Great General Khazan, the ancestor of all slayers after he is falsely accused of treason. In this hardcore action RPG, thrilling combat takes center stage at every step of Khazan's bloody quest for revenge against those who orchestrated his downfall, set against a dark fantasy world, rough manga-inspired visuals, and intense, ever-evolving battle styles.

Another Nexon game that's been gaining attention lately is Vindictus: Defying Fate. Inspired by the Vindictus IP, a free-to-play MMORPG released in 2010, Vindictus: Defying Fate will offer a next-gen single-player experience coming to consoles and PC, distinct from its older sibling.
