The First Berserker: Khazan has just released an exciting new gameplay trailer, offering fans an in-depth look at the thrilling boss fights they can expect. This trailer, showcased during IGN Fan Fest on February 27, 2025, was presented by the South Korean developer Neople. The trailer features Khazan battling against an intriguing umbrella-wielding boss, as well as two other formidable beasts.
New Gameplay Trailer Showcases Umbrella-Wielding Boss
In the trailer, we get a glimpse of the umbrella-wielding boss, which appears to play a significant role in the game's narrative. A brief cutscene precedes the battle, hinting at its importance to the main storyline. While the HUD was not visible during this sequence, limiting our understanding of the boss's mechanics, two other enemies were clearly identified: Shactuka, a wolf-like beast, and the Specter of Bhangau, a ram-like creature wielding a hammer and spike.
Possible Awakened Form
The trailer also teases an "Awakened" form for Khazan, marking a significant departure from his traditional samurai aesthetic. In this form, Khazan sports a striking red glow and full body armor, enabling him to execute a variety of enhanced attacks with different weapons. This transformation not only amplifies his combat capabilities, increasing speed and attack power, but also showcases the game's intricate combat mechanics, such as blocking projectiles, parrying, and executing swift combos.
Despite Khazan's formidable new abilities, the trailer suggests that these bosses are tough adversaries, with their health bars showing minimal damage from his attacks, reinforcing the game's challenging Souls-like combat elements. While Neople has not officially confirmed details about this Awakened form, the trailer indicates that it will be a crucial mechanic for dealing significant damage and unleashing powerful combos.
Gamers eager to dive into The First Berserker: Khazan can try out 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, on these platforms.
