The First Berserker: Khazan has just released an exciting new gameplay trailer that dives deep into the thrilling world of boss fights and hints at an intriguing awakened form for the protagonist, Khazan. This trailer, showcased during IGN Fan Fest on February 27, 2025, gives fans a tantalizing glimpse into the game developed by South Korean studio Neople.
New Gameplay Trailer Showcases Umbrella-Wielding Boss
In the trailer, fans were treated to a sneak peek at various boss encounters that players will face in The First Berserker: Khazan. The footage highlighted Khazan battling an intriguing umbrella-wielding boss, accompanied by two other formidable beasts. The umbrella-wielding adversary appears to play a significant role in the game’s narrative, as evidenced by a brief cutscene preceding the fight. Although the HUD was not visible during this segment, leaving some details shrouded in mystery, two other bosses were clearly identified: Shactuka, a wolf-like creature, and the Specter of Bhangau, a ram-like beast armed with a hammer and spike.
Possible Awakened Form
A highlight of the trailer was the apparent transformation of Khazan into an awakened form. Departing from his usual samurai-like appearance, Khazan dons full body armor with a striking red glow. This new form not only enhances his visual appeal but also equips him with a diverse arsenal of attacks and weapons, enabling him to execute rapid and powerful combos. The trailer demonstrated various combat mechanics, including blocking enemy projectiles, parrying, and engaging in fast-paced combat sequences. However, the effectiveness of Khazan’s attacks seems limited against the bosses, as their health bars show minimal damage, underscoring the game's challenging, Souls-like nature.
While Neople has not officially confirmed details about this awakened form, the trailer suggests that it will be a key mechanic for dealing significant damage and unleashing complex combos using an array of weapons.
For those eager to experience The First Berserker: Khazan, a free demo is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, allowing players to dive into the first two missions. The full game is set to launch on March 27, 2025, across these same platforms.
