- Nexon has reportedly dissolved the team that worked on The First Berserker Khazan.
- The game had pretty good reviews, but couldn’t become a big financial success.
- The team hasn’t been laid off; instead, the devs have been moved to other teams.
Developed by Neopeople and published by Nexon, The First Berserker Khazan had huge expectations riding on it. The game was released last year and had a pretty good reception; however, it seems that the sales have struggled.
A new report suggests that Nexon has dissolved the First Berserker Khazan team because of poor sales. The game’s reviews were generally positive, and unfortunately, the sales don’t reflect a similar experience.
Why it matters: This is again a case of a game failing in the industry despite being a brilliant title on the surface. This is also among the primary reasons many studios avoid taking any risks, as it could be disastrous.
According to a Korean outlet, Yonhap News, Nexon informed the employees who worked on The First Berserker that they are being moved to different teams. The core team will be dissolved because of the unsatisfactory sales.
The game recently got an update, but now its future seems uncertain and might not be supported any longer. The only positive is that the studio hasn’t laid off the team like most, instead just moved them to other projects.
The news channel also cites the delayed release in China as a low sales factor. Nonetheless, this is rather unfortunate, considering the game’s potential is huge, and it was supposed to be the first of many Nexon games in the genre.
