Khazan Unveils Latest Update for Early Access Version

Neople is actively working on hotfixes to address bugs that have been hindering player progression in “The First Berserker: Khazan” for PC. This game, which many fans have been eagerly diving into, presents a robust adventure, with the main story alone clocking in around 35 hours. Console players on PlayStation and Xbox aren’t left out, as Neople plans to bring timely hotfixes to these platforms to resolve similar issues.

In a narrative driven by revenge and starring well-known voice actor Ben Starr, players step into the shoes of Khazan, a former esteemed general turned vigilante after betrayal from his empire. Resurrected by warrior spirits, Khazan’s tale is as gripping as it is vast. Those embarking on this epic will find themselves engulfed in a journey that could easily surpass 50 hours for complete exploration and side quests. This depth, combined with challenging boss fights and engaging combat, has many soulslike aficionados thrilled.

Recently, Neople’s community manager, binpark, shared on Reddit about the release of two crucial hotfixes for the early access version of the game available to players who opted for the deluxe edition. These updates address issues where the game could unexpectedly halt progress if closed during a loading screen—a significant obstacle for those keen to press onward with Khazan’s story. Players are encouraged to download these updates via Steam without delay.

Binpark also acknowledged similar bugs affect the PlayStation and Xbox versions, with Neople keen to deliver fixes for them soon. Meanwhile, a temporary workaround has been suggested, involving reloading the game and recovering save data, although this could lead to varying amounts of lost progress. Despite the hiccups, many players remain undeterred, eager to jump back into the game’s action-packed universe, with full access anticipated by March 27.

The buzz around “The First Berserker: Khazan” is backed by favorable reviews and an impressive score of 80 on OpenCritic. Critics have highlighted its demanding boss confrontations, marking it as one of the more challenging soulslikes available. As players gear up to experience this fresh world packed with unique enemies and relentless combat, anticipation continues to build around what this title has yet to reveal.
