The latest gameplay trailer for The First Berserker: Khazan has ignited excitement among fans by showcasing thrilling boss fights and hinting at a potential awakened form for the protagonist, Khazan. Unveiled during the IGN Fan Fest on February 27, 2025, South Korean developer Neople offered a tantalizing glimpse into what players can expect from this action-packed title.
In the new trailer, Khazan faces off against an intriguing umbrella-wielding boss, hinting at its significance in the main story. A brief cutscene introduces this formidable adversary before the battle ensues. Although the HUD was absent during this sequence, limiting detailed information, the trailer also introduced two additional bosses: Shactuka, a wolf-like beast, and the Specter of Bhangau, a ram-like beast equipped with a hammer and spike. These encounters promise to challenge players with diverse combat scenarios.
The trailer teased a dramatic transformation for Khazan, suggesting an awakened form that diverges from his usual samurai-like appearance. In this state, Khazan dons full body armor with a striking red glow and unleashes a variety of enhanced attacks using different weapons. This awakened form not only boosts his speed and attack power but also showcases the game's combat mechanics such as blocking projectiles, parrying, and executing fast-paced combos. However, the effectiveness of these attacks against the bosses appears limited, underscoring the game's challenging Souls-like elements.
While Neople has not officially confirmed details about this awakened form, the trailer suggests it will play a crucial role in dealing significant damage and enabling complex combo attacks.
Players eager to dive into The First Berserker: Khazan can try the free demo available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, which includes the first two missions. The full game is slated for release on March 27, 2025, across the same platforms.
