The First Berserker: Khazan has just released a thrilling new gameplay trailer during IGN Fan Fest on February 27, 2025, showcasing an array of intense boss fights that players can look forward to. This trailer, presented by South Korean developer Neople, dives deep into the action, featuring Khazan battling an intriguing umbrella-wielding boss, along with two other formidable creatures named Shactuka, a wolf-like beast, and the Specter of Bhangau, a ram-like beast armed with a hammer and spike.
The umbrella-wielding boss appears to play a significant role, possibly within the main storyline, as evidenced by a brief cutscene shown before the battle. Although the trailer did not display the HUD during this fight, leaving some details about the boss undisclosed, the encounters with Shactuka and the Specter of Bhangau were clearly identified, setting the stage for epic showdowns.
Adding to the excitement, the trailer hinted at a powerful new mechanic for Khazan - an Awakened form. In this transformation, Khazan's appearance shifts from his classic samurai style to a more armored look, accompanied by a striking red glow. This new form not only enhances Khazan's attacks but also boosts his speed, allowing for a variety of weapon-based assaults. The trailer showcased Khazan's combat capabilities, including blocking projectiles, parrying, and executing fast-paced combos. Despite these impressive maneuvers, the effectiveness of Khazan's attacks seemed somewhat limited against the bosses, emphasizing the game's challenging, Souls-like combat dynamics.
While the developers have not yet officially detailed this Awakened form, the trailer suggests it will be a key feature, enabling Khazan to unleash devastating attacks and perform extensive combos with different weapons. This adds a layer of depth to the gameplay, promising a thrilling experience for players.
For those eager to dive into the world of The First Berserker: Khazan, a free demo is currently available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, offering a taste of the game through its first two missions. The full game is slated for release on March 27, 2025, on the same platforms.
