Exactly one year ago, The First Berserker: Khazan was released. There was some hype surrounding the Korean action-adventure game ahead of its release, but mixed reviews prevented it from becoming a hit. And now Yonhap News reports that this is having consequences.

A large portion of the team at developer Neople, which until now numbered around 100 people, has now been reassigned to a resource group called Team R. Neople will continue to exist as a studio, but this is likely the end of the road for future support for The First Berserker: Khazan.
