Samsung Electronics today announced a partnership with game developers Nexon Korea and Neople to deliver unparalleled 3D experiences in the upcoming game ‘The First Berserker: Khazan.’ The game’s 3D elements are being specially customized and designed during development, utilizing Samsung technology and the advanced capabilities of the Odyssey 3D monitor to create an immersive 3D gaming experience.
Through this partnership, Nexon, Neople and Samsung have been working closely to tailor the 3D visuals, carefully adjusting them based on the composition of characters, backgrounds and cinematics throughout the game. This process gives the developers an unprecedented level of control over the 3D effects, enabling them to bring their creative visions to life with precision.
“The partnership between Samsung and Nexon will provide an unmatched gaming experience with ‘The First Berserker: Khazan’ on the Odyssey 3D monitor,” said Yongjae Kim, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “We’ll continue to expand partnerships with premium gaming companies across the globe to deliver 3D gaming technology that provides the highest level of gaming immersion.”
By fine-tuning the focal distance for 3D effects on a case-by-case basis, Nexon and Neople aim to develop specific scenarios that determine when and how elements become 3D. These efforts reduce crosstalk — a common issue causing visual overlap — while enhancing the clarity of epic boss battles and cinematic cutscenes.
“This partnership marks a significant step in establishing a competitive 3D gaming model on a global scale, driving innovation across the whole industry,” said Choi Sung-wook, head of the publishing live division at Nexon. “We are excited for gamers worldwide to experience the vibrant graphics and intricate gameplay of ‘The First Berserker: Khazan,’ made possible by the cutting-edge technologies available to our developers and the industry-leading Samsung Odyssey gaming monitor.”
‘The First Berserker: Khazan’ is a hardcore action RPG (role playing game) where players experience Khazan’s legendary journey firsthand, immersing themselves in the world of Nexon’s leading franchise — the Dungeon & Fighter Universe. The game is set for global release on March 28 KST.
The Odyssey 3D, unveiled at CES 2024 and recognized with the prestigious Best of Innovation award, will launch worldwide in April, delivering groundbreaking 3D technology that elevates gaming for players globally.

Samsung Electronics today unveiled its 2025 Smart Monitor, Odyssey Gaming Monitor and ViewFinity Monitor lineups, all of which will be on display at Samsung’s First Look at CES on January 5.
The 2025 models raise the bar for monitors by bringing AI features, industry-first sizes in the OLED market and new form factors that ignite the passions of users worldwide — whether they’re working, gaming or creating.
“With the new monitors in our industry-leading lineups, we’re giving people more ways to explore the content and connections that they love in new ways,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “Because of our new AI capabilities and size options, 2025 will see users across the world find the right monitor that fits them.”
Smart Monitor M9: Entertainment and Efficiency Get an AI Upgrade
The Smart Monitor M9 (M90SF model) introduces industry-first AI features that enhance entertainment and interactivity through smart picture adaptation and search functions.
As the first monitor to integrate on-device AI, the M9 features AI Picture Optimizer, which analyzes input signals to determine the type of content being viewed — such as gaming, video or productivity applications — and automatically adjust the display settings for the best visual experience.1 For gamers, the AI goes further by recognizing the genre of the game being played and fine-tune the picture settings to deliver an optimal and immersive experience for every playstyle.2
The M9 also incorporates 4K AI Upscaling Pro, which uses advanced AI processing and neural networks to upgrade lower-resolution content up to 4K quality.3 By analyzing input signals and existing image data, this feature delivers crystal-clear visuals with enhanced detail, regardless of the original resolution.
These smart and personalized features enhance the hardware performance of the M9. It features a 32” 4K OLED screen with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 for incredible details and vivid colors. Its thin design, along with the Easy Setup Stand, allows users to effortlessly create their ideal workspace, and a built-in 4K camera makes it convenient to use in any environment.
Samsung Odyssey Series: Two Industry Firsts With a 27” 4K OLED Gaming Monitor and an OLED Screen With a 500Hz Refresh Rate
The Odyssey gaming monitor series powers up industry-leading performance in new sizes with the 2025 Odyssey OLED G8 and G6 models.
The Odyssey OLED G8 (G81SF model) is the first 27” 4K (3,840 x 2,160) OLED gaming monitor in the world. The screen packs in 165 PPI (pixels per inch) with a refresh rate of 240Hz. The level of pixel density and screen smoothness gives game creators and players a new level of detail and picture quality as they build and explore realistic gaming worlds.
On the other hand, the Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SF model) redefines speed as the first-ever OLED screen with a 500Hz refresh rate on its QHD (2,560 x 1,440) screen. The lightning-fast speed and ultra-smooth gameplay unleashes the potential for gamers who demand the best to gain a winning edge from device performance.
Both models deliver a response time of 0.03ms (GTG) for smooth visuals and crisp gameplay, even in fast-paced gaming environments. They also support AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and are NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible, allowing them to provide smooth pictures with less tear and flickering. VESA DisplayHDR True Black 4004 delivers rich darks without bloom or color bleed, making the most of the OLED screen, while OLED Glare Free screens keep the focus on the game by reducing distracting reflections and glare.
Samsung is also showcasing the 27” Odyssey 3D (G90XF model) gaming monitor at CES. Thanks to its lenticular lens attached to the front of the panel and its front stereo camera, the Odyssey 3D provides a customizable 3D experience without the need for separate 3D glasses. It can also add a new depth to content by using AI to analyze and convert 2D video into 3D.
ViewFinity S8: A Bigger Canvas for Productivity and Creativity
The 37” ViewFinity S8 (S80UD model) is the largest 16:9 4K monitor to date. Its screen is approximately 34% larger than the previous model5 and is designed to maximize productivity, immersion and efficiency. More information can be seen at a glance while making the most out of desk space — ushering in a new era of large, high-productivity monitors.
With its sRGB 99% color gamut faithfully presenting colors on the 4K (3,840 x 2,160) screen, the ViewFinity S8 delivers the color representation and brightness necessary for professional users to do their best work.
The 2025 ViewFinity S8 has been certified by TÜV Rheinland6 for ‘Ergonomic Workspace Display,’ recognizing its ergonomic design that enhances work immersion, task efficiency and productivity. TÜV-certified7 Intelligent Eye Care reduces fatigue in users’ eyes — even during prolonged use — by adjusting the color temperature based on the environment’s lighting. Eye saver mode and a flicker-free feature also protect eyes from strain.
With a simple Easy Setup Stand, the S8 also keeps productivity high through a built-in KVM8 switch, turning the monitor into a single command station for multitasking across several devices with only one mouse and keyboard. Devices can also be connected and charged at the same time with a 90W USB-C connection, making it easy to quickly manage all the accessories a user needs.
1 AI Picture Optimizer is available only when the monitor is connected to a PC.
2 Support may vary depending on the game title.
3 AI Upscaling Pro works only when using the built-in Smart TV apps and Samsung Gaming Hub (PQ priority mode).
4 VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification is underway and expected to be finalized before the product launch date.
