As the battle begins, a new hero joins the fight… Kei, a young, inexperienced rookie, is transformed by mysterious Orb energy into BERSERK BOY!

What it launched against
Berserk Boy launched on 6 March 2024, within three weeks of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Balatro, Dragon's Dogma II and Pacific Drive. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 4 years into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Balatro, Dragon's Dogma II, Pacific Drive.
