“Unlocking Innovations: Samsung’s Latest Revelations on the U.K. Newsroom Stage”

Samsung’s Odyssey 3D display technology enhances the optimized 3D gaming experience with NEXON and NEOPLE

LONDON, U.K. – Jan. 20, 2025 – Today, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. declared a collaboration with game developers Nexon Korea and Neople to offer extraordinary 3D experiences in the forthcoming game ‘The First Berserker: Khazan.’ The 3D features of the game are being specially tailored and crafted during development, utilizing Samsung’s technology and the advanced functions of the Odyssey 3D monitor to deliver an engaging 3D gaming adventure without the requirement for 3D eyewear.

Through this collaboration, Nexon, Neople, and Samsung have been working in unity to customize the 3D visuals, meticulously fine-tuning them based on the arrangement of characters, backgrounds, and cinematics throughout the game. This procedure affords the developers an unparalleled level of control over the 3D effects, empowering them to realize their creative visions with accuracy.

“The collaboration between Samsung and Nexon will grant gamers an unequaled experience with ‘The First Berserker: Khazan’ on the Odyssey 3D monitor,” stated Yongjae Kim, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “We’ll persist in broadening partnerships with premier gaming firms globally to deliver 3D gaming technology that guarantees the utmost level of gaming immersion.”

By precisely adjusting the focal distance for 3D effects on a situation-by-situation basis, Nexon and Neople aspire to formulate specific scenarios that determine when and how elements appear in 3D. These initiatives mitigate crosstalk—a prevalent issue that causes visual overlap—while improving the clarity of grand boss battles and cinematic cutscenes.

“This partnership signifies a crucial advancement in establishing a competitive 3D gaming model on a worldwide scale, fostering innovation throughout the entire industry,” commented Choi Sung-wook, head of the publishing live division at Nexon. “We are thrilled for gamers around the globe to explore the vibrant graphics and elaborate gameplay of ‘The First Berserker: Khazan,’ made achievable by the cutting-edge technologies at our developers’ disposal and the industry-leading Samsung Odyssey gaming monitor.”

‘The First Berserker: Khazan’ is an intense action RPG (role-playing game) where players can directly experience Khazan’s legendary journey, submerging themselves in the universe of Nexon’s flagship franchise — the Dungeon & Fighter Universe. The game is scheduled for a global launch on March 28 KST.

The Odyssey 3D, showcased at CES 2024 and honored with the esteemed Best of Innovation award, will be released worldwide in April, presenting breakthrough 3D technology that enhances gaming for players everywhere.
