Nexon confirms reorganizaton at The First Berserker: Khazan developer but says it's merely 'a strategic reallocation of talent' as development winds down

Nexon has confirmed that it has “reorganized” the teams at The First Berserker: Khazan developer Neople, but says the changes were made not because of issues with the game’s performance, but simply “to allocate resources more effectively” across ongoing projects.

The reshuffling at Neople was first reported by Korean agency Yonhap (via GamesRadar), which said (Google translated) a large number of staff on The First Berserker: Khazan had been reassigned “due to poor performance.” The game had a strong launch, and currently holds a “very positive” rating on Steam across nearly 20,000 user reviews, but the report claims that sales subsequently tailed off and failed to meet expectations.
