Nexon Reorganizes Neople’s Khazan Team as Development Winds Down

Reports of weak sales raise doubts about Khazan’s near-term future.

Overview

  • Yonhap reported Wednesday that Neople reassigned much of The First Berserker: Khazan staff to other projects due to poor performance.
  • Nexon confirmed a reorganization and described it as a planned reallocation of talent to support live service work and new initiatives across the company.
  • The publisher said the change was not a layoff or a team shutdown, yet outlets note the original group is no longer working on the game together.
  • Khazan earned strong reviews and an early player surge but missed internal sales targets, with a delayed China launch cited as a drag on commercialization.
  • The shake-up leaves the game's next steps unclear as Nexon focuses on other Dungeon & Fighter efforts aimed at global markets, including a planned China release with Tencent.
