The First Berserker: Khazan has thrilled fans with a new gameplay trailer that dives into the intense boss fights and hints at a powerful awakened form for the protagonist, Khazan. Let's delve into the details of the showcased boss battles and explore the mechanics of Khazan's potential new form.
The First Berserker: Khazan’s New Trailer Highlights Different Boss Fights
New Gameplay Trailer Showcases Umbrella-Wielding Boss
During the IGN Fan Fest on February 27, 2025, South Korean developer Neople unveiled a captivating trailer for The First Berserker: Khazan. The trailer spotlighted three distinct boss encounters, including a battle against an intriguing umbrella-wielding adversary. This boss appears to play a significant role in the main storyline, as evidenced by the brief cutscene that precedes the fight. Although the HUD was not visible during this segment, the other two bosses were clearly identified: Shactuka, a menacing wolf-like creature, and the Specter of Bhangau, a ram-like beast equipped with a hammer and spike.
Possible Awakened Form
A highlight of the trailer was Khazan's transformation into what appears to be an awakened form. In this state, Khazan's appearance shifts from his traditional samurai-like look to a more imposing figure enveloped in a red glow and clad in full body armor. This transformation seems to grant him access to an array of new and enhanced attacks, utilizing a variety of weapons.
The trailer showcased Khazan's combat prowess, featuring mechanics such as blocking projectiles, parrying, and executing swift combos. Despite the ferocity of his attacks, the bosses' health bars indicated minimal damage, reflecting the game's challenging Souls-like nature. While Neople has not officially confirmed details about this awakened form, the trailer suggests it will significantly boost Khazan's damage output and allow for devastating combos with different weapons.
For those eager to get a taste of the action, The First Berserker: Khazan offers a free demo on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, featuring the first two missions. The full game is slated for release on March 27, 2025, across these platforms.
