Upcoming fantasy action RPG The First Berserker: Khazan has been officially rated by Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA). The game has received an Advisory 16 rating, marking it as suitable for players aged 16 and above.
Developed by Neople and published by Nexon, The First Berserker: Khazan follows the story of General Khazan, a warrior falsely accused of treason and forced into exile. Determined to exact revenge, he embarks on a brutal journey to uncover the truth behind his downfall. Set in a dark fantasy world, the game features a fast-paced combat system reminiscent of Souls-like RPGs, where players must battle various enemies using melee weapons and special abilities.
According to IMDA’s classification, the game contains intense melee combat with notable blood effects, including large sprays that stain the environment. Defeated enemies and bloodstains eventually disappear, while some areas in the game world feature bloodied settings and corpses. However, the violence remains within the Advisory 16 guidelines, which permit realistic but non-excessively graphic depictions of violence. Additionally, the game includes strong language, with expletives such as “f**k,” “bastard,” “bitch,” and “asshole” appearing in dialogue.
Recently, the system requirements for the game have been shared on Steam. The game requires a 64-bit processor and operating system, specifically Windows 10 64-bit version 22H2. The minimum processor requirement is an Intel Core i3-6300 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200, coupled with 12 GB of RAM. For the graphics card, you will need at least a GeForce GTX 970, Radeon RX 580, or Arc A580, all of which must support DirectX 11.
Additionally, you must have 70 GB of available storage space, and the game must be installed on an SSD to achieve 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second with low graphics settings.
For recommended settings, a more powerful setup is suggested, including Windows 11 version 21H2, an Intel Core i7-6700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a GeForce RTX 2070, Radeon RX 5700XT, or Arc A750 graphics card that supports DirectX 12. The storage requirement remains at 70 GB on an SSD, but this configuration aims for 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second with high graphics options.
Set for release on March 27, 2025, The First Berserker: Khazan will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
