\u25a0 Introducing the Next Update<\/strong> (May 15)<\/p>\n

The long-awaited May update is finally here!<\/p>\n

When we wrapp<\/a>ed up the preparation for the official launch and began designing new content, the very first keyword that came to our mind was \u201cboss.\u201d<\/p>\n

Khazan<\/em> is a mission-orientated game<\/a>. You can always go back and fight the bosses that you defeated again, and you\u2019ll still earn rewards. Want a tougher challenge? Unequip your gear or limit your skills to raise the difficulty as much as you\u2019d like. But for this new content, we wanted to create a special challenge\u2014something different from the usual approach.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We had a storm of ideas. Harder. Nastier. More punishing. The kind of challenge that not just anyone could take on. Then, one of our developers said:<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah\u2026 I probably wouldn\u2019t play that.\u201d<\/p>\n

And just to be clear\u2014this person? (He\u2019s our lead character designer.)<\/p>\n

Plays games over four hours a day, has earned platinum trophies in most action titles, and refuses to consider a game \u201ccomplete\u201d without one. They even love Boss Rush content. (And yes, we have more than a few people like that on our team.)<\/p>\n

This was one of the hardest parts of designing Khazan<\/em> and new content.<\/p>\n

Hardcore Difficulty<\/strong><\/p>\n

How do we determine the measure of a \u201chardcore\u201d difficulty? What\u2019s the point of content if no one can enjoy it? But then again, if it\u2019s not a worthy challenge, which is at the core of our value, is it really the right call?<\/p>\n

We knew we wanted something players could challenge themselves with. But we also knew it couldn\u2019t just be hard for the sake of being hard. It had to be fun, something that\u2019s tough but rewarding. A mode you\u2019d be proud to conquer and eager to show off.<\/p>\n

Taking all of this into account, we picked two ideas from our brainstorming session. Then came long hours of debate, testing, and refinement. And finally\u2014we found one that made us go:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is worth the challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is something I\u2019d be proud to tell others about once I clear it.\u201d<\/p>\n

And now, we\u2019re excited to show you those two new modes.<\/p>\n

Two New Boss Rush (Ultimate Challenge) Modes are Coming as Part of This Update<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once you beat the game and see the ending, a new menu will appear on the title screen.<\/p>\n

Because every boss in Khazan is deeply tied to the story, even showing the boss list would spoil things. That\u2019s why this new boss rush content will only be available after completing the game. (We know there were boss spoilers in a previous patch note\u2014rest assured, we\u2019ll take every precaution to make sure that never happens again!)<\/p>\n

The two Boss Rush modes differ in difficulty and progression, but I\u2019ll give you a brief overview here:<\/p>\n
