Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced a partnership with game developers Nexon Korea and Neople to deliver incredible 3D experiences in the upcoming game ‘The First Berserker: Khazan.’ The game’s 3D elements are being specially customised and designed during development, utilising Samsung technology and the advanced capabilities of the Odyssey 3D (G90XF) monitor to create a glasses-free immersive 3D gaming experience.

Through this partnership, Nexon, Neople and Samsung have been working closely to tailor the 3D visuals, carefully adjusting them based on the composition of characters, backgrounds, and cinematics throughout the game. This process gives the developers increased control over the 3D effects, enabling them to bring their creative visions to life with more precision.

“The partnership between Samsung and Nexon will provide a unique gaming experience with ‘The First Berserker: Khazan’ on the Odyssey 3D monitor,” said Yongjae Kim, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “We’ll continue to expand partnerships with premium gaming companies across the globe to deliver 3D gaming technology that provides the highest level of gaming immersion.”

By fine-tuning the focal distance for 3D effects on a case-by-case basis, Nexon and Neople aim to develop specific scenarios that determine when and how elements become 3D. These efforts help to reduce crosstalk a common issue causing visual overlap — while enhancing the clarity of epic boss battles and cinematic cut-scenes.

“This partnership marks a significant step in establishing a competitive 3D gaming model on a global scale, driving innovation across the whole industry,” said Choi Sung-wook, head of the publishing live division at Nexon. “We are excited for gamers worldwide to experience the vibrant graphics and intricate gameplay of ‘The First Berserker: Khazan,’ made possible by the cutting-edge technologies available to our developers and the highly esteemed Samsung Odyssey gaming monitor.”

‘The First Berserker: Khazan’ is a hardcore action RPG (role playing game) where players experience Khazan’s legendary journey firsthand, immersing themselves in the world of Nexon’s leading franchise — the Dungeon & Fighter Universe. The game is set for global release on March 28 KST.
