“Unveiling Khazan’: Samsung’s Innovations Explored”

Samsung’s Odyssey 3D display technology facilitates an enhanced 3D gaming experience in collaboration with NEXON and NEOPLE

Today, Samsung Electronics has formally declared a collaboration with game developers Nexon Korea and Neople aimed at offering extraordinary 3D experiences in the forthcoming game ‘The First Berserker: Khazan.’ The game’s 3D features are being meticulously tailored and crafted during development using Samsung technology alongside the enhanced functions of the Odyssey 3D monitor to forge a captivating 3D gaming atmosphere.

Through this collaboration, Nexon, Neople, and Samsung have been engaging closely to customize the 3D visuals, precisely calibrating them based on the arrangement of characters, environments, and cinematics throughout the game. This methodology grants developers an unparalleled degree of control over the 3D enhancements, allowing them to realize their creative aspirations with meticulous accuracy.

“The alliance between Samsung and Nexon will furnish an unrivaled gaming adventure with ‘The First Berserker: Khazan’ on the Odyssey 3D monitor,” expressed Yongjae Kim, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Division at Samsung Electronics. “We will persist in forming alliances with premier gaming enterprises around the planet to provide 3D gaming innovation that ensures the utmost level of gaming immersion.”

By customizing the focal distance for 3D effects on a scenario-by-scenario basis, Nexon and Neople aspire to design specific situations that determine the timing and manner in which elements become 3D. These initiatives mitigate crosstalk — a frequent problem causing visual overlap — while amplifying the clarity of magnificent boss confrontations and cinematic sequences.

“This partnership signifies a critical advancement in establishing a competitive 3D gaming framework on an international level, propelling innovation throughout the entire industry,” stated Choi Sung-wook, head of the publishing live division at Nexon. “We eagerly anticipate gamers globally experiencing the vivid graphics and complex gameplay of ‘The First Berserker: Khazan,’ made achievable by the state-of-the-art technologies accessible to our developers and the industry-leading Samsung Odyssey gaming monitor.”

‘The First Berserker: Khazan’ is a challenging action RPG (role-playing game) where players engage in Khazan’s iconic journey firsthand, immersing themselves in the realm of Nexon’s premier franchise — the Dungeon & Fighter Universe. The game is slated for global launch on March 28 KST.

The Odyssey 3D, revealed at CES 2024 and awarded the distinguished Best of Innovation accolade, is set to debut globally in April, offering pioneering 3D technology that enhances gaming for players worldwide.
