It’s been a busy month for Nexon and Neople. Earlier in August, the team showcased the opening 15 minutes of the game (complete with a pretty awesome boss battle), unveiled a behind-the-scenes video diving into the story of Khazan within the larger DNF Universe, and announced a closed beta test for early October.
