The First Berserker: Khazan has excited fans with its latest gameplay trailer, unveiled during the IGN Fan Fest on February 27, 2025. Developed by South Korean studio Neople, the trailer provided a thrilling glimpse into the boss fights that players can expect, showcasing an array of challenging encounters and hinting at a powerful new mechanic for the protagonist, Khazan.
New Gameplay Trailer Showcases Umbrella-Wielding Boss
The trailer highlighted a battle against an intriguing umbrella-wielding boss, possibly central to the main storyline, as evidenced by a brief cutscene preceding the fight. Although the HUD wasn't visible during this sequence, leaving specifics about the boss undisclosed, the trailer did introduce two other formidable foes: Shactuka, a wolf-like beast, and the Specter of Bhangau, a ram-like creature armed with a hammer and spike.
Possible Awakened Form
A standout feature from the trailer is Khazan's apparent transformation into an Awakened form. In this state, Khazan dons full body armor and emits a striking red glow, significantly enhancing his combat capabilities. This form allows him to wield various weapons and execute rapid, powerful attacks, showcasing the game's dynamic combat mechanics such as blocking, parrying, and executing swift combos. Despite the intensity of Khazan's attacks, the minimal impact on the bosses' health bars underscores the game's challenging, Souls-like nature.
While the developers have yet to confirm details about this Awakened form, the trailer suggests it will enable Khazan to unleash devastating damage and craft extensive combos using an assortment of weapons.
Fans eager to dive into The First Berserker: Khazan can explore the game through a 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 these platforms.
