The First Berserker: Khazan Demo Dominates Steam Charts, Launch Details Revealed

The hotly anticipated action RPG The First Berserker: Khazan has taken Steam by storm, with its demo climbing to the #1 spot on Steam’s Top Demo charts just one week after release. NEXON and Neople’s latest offering has garnered widespread acclaim from players since the demo dropped on January 16th, setting the stage for what could be one of 2025’s breakout hits.

Following the demo’s success, the developers have unveiled a new trailer showcasing the game’s intense combat system and confirming several launch details. The trailer, released as a reward for demo completion, gives players a deeper look into Khazan’s brutal combat mechanics and sets expectations for the full release.

For eager fans looking to jump into the action early, the Deluxe Edition offers a three-day head start on the standard release. This premium package also includes exclusive armor and weapon sets, a digital artbook, and the complete game soundtrack. Players interested in experiencing the demo can currently download it through Steam, while those looking to secure their early access can pre-order the Deluxe Edition for $69.99

In an interesting move to build community engagement, NEXON has launched an Official Content Creator Program alongside the demo. Through this initiative, streamers and content creators can earn points by completing specific missions, which can then be redeemed for both Standard and Deluxe Edition game codes. Interested creators can apply through the official website’s ‘CREATOR’ menu, though they’ll need to register as official creators through the Lurkit platform first.

The positive reception to Khazan’s demo signals growing excitement for the full release. The game’s success on Steam’s demo charts is particularly noteworthy in today’s crowded gaming marketplace, where standing out among the constant flood of new releases can be challenging. NEXON’s strategy of combining a polished demo with creator-friendly initiatives appears to be paying off, building organic buzz through community engagement rather than relying solely on traditional marketing.

The development team has acknowledged the warm reception, taking to social media to thank fans for their support. With the demo’s strong performance and pre-order incentives now in place, all eyes are on NEXON to see if The First Berserker: Khazan can maintain this momentum through to its full release.
