Khazan Unveils Latest Update for Early Access Version

Neople is rolling out essential hotfixes to tackle bugs that have been hindering player progress in The First Berserker: Khazan on PC. This action RPG, with its unique soulslike elements, presents an extensive adventure, clocking in at approximately 35 hours to finish the main storyline. Both PlayStation and Xbox gamers have encountered similar issues, and Neople is poised to deliver updates to these platforms promptly.

In the latest update, Neople introduced a hotfix targeting a pesky bug in The First Berserker: Khazan that was causing progress-halting issues on PC. This gripping tale of revenge features the esteemed voice actor Ben Starr, who breathes life into Khazan—a once-renowned general wrongfully deemed a traitor by his empire. After a near-death experience, Khazan becomes a vessel for warrior spirits seeking retribution.

For those diving into the game, be ready for a significant time commitment. Finishing just the main storyline can take around 35 hours, but fully immersing oneself in everything the game offers will push it past the 50-hour mark. Enthusiasts have buzzed with excitement about a soulslike game that promises lengthy gameplay, receiving accolades for its thrilling boss fights and captivating combat mechanics.

On Reddit, Community Manager binpark shared that two hotfixes have been dispatched for early access players who snagged the deluxe version of The First Berserker: Khazan. These patches aim to mitigate incidents where closing the game during a loading screen stymies progress, an issue that has troubled many aiming to advance through the story. Steam users are instructed to update their games to avoid these inconveniences.

Binpark also mentioned these bugs plague the PlayStation and Xbox editions, and Neople intends to issue a corrective patch soon for these versions. Players encountering these bugs can attempt a workaround that involves reloading the game and recovering their save files—a process that may result in some lost progress. Despite these hitches, the community’s resolve remains unshaken, with players eager to get back into the action.

The First Berserker: Khazan is currently enjoying early access and is set for a full release on March 27, making its intense combat accessible to all who wish to partake. Positioned as a formidable contender in the soulslike genre, the game has garnered generally favorable reviews, boasting an OpenCritic score of 80. Reviewers have lauded the challenging boss fights, with many players looking forward to exploring its new realm and facing its formidable adversaries.
