📢 [PC/PS] Online Demo Temporarily Suspended

Hello Berserkers, As of June 16, 2025, we will temporarily suspend the online demo service of The First Berserker: Khazan on Steam and PlayStation. The online demo service for Xbox will be suspended at a later date, and the exact schedule will be announced separately.

Following steady updates after launch, the difference in game content between the demo version and the full game has grown significantly different. We have, therefore, come to this decision as we strive to provide a more consistent experience across the board.

We will inform you in a separate notice once the online demo is ready again in the future. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

[Balance Adjustments]

Consumables

Developer's Comment: Regarding the visual effect (light beam) for consumable discovery, we received feedback that the actual item received felt underwhelming compared to the grade speculated based on this visual effect. To improve the sense of reward and resolve the mismatch between item grade and perceived value, we've adjusted the grade of select consumables. These changes do not affect the item's drop location or spawn rate.

The grade of certain consumables will be adjusted to better reflect their reward value. With these changes, the color of the visual effect displayed upon discovering consumables will also be updated accordingly.

• Rare (Purple) → Uncommon (Blue)

  • Fire Spirit's Fuel

  • Water Spirit's Fuel

  • Lightning Spirit's Fuel

  • Earth Spirit's Fuel

  • Poison Spirit's Fuel

• Unique (Red) → Rare (Purple)

  • Special Cleanse Potion

  • Special Parchment

Drop Rate Increase

• Defeating bosses in main missions now guarantees a 100% drop rate for set item crafting materials.
