The First Berserker: Khazan's latest gameplay trailer offers a thrilling glimpse into its challenging boss encounters, even hinting at a powerful awakened form for the protagonist. Let's delve into the details revealed.
The First Berserker: Khazan’s New Trailer Highlights Diverse Boss Fights
A Glimpse at an Umbrella-Wielding Boss
During IGN Fan Fest on February 27, 2025, developer Neople unveiled a captivating trailer showcasing Khazan battling a variety of formidable foes. One particularly intriguing encounter features a boss wielding an umbrella—a unique visual that suggests a significant role within the game's narrative. While the HUD was obscured during this fight, leaving specifics unknown, the trailer also highlighted other antagonists.
These include Shactuka, a wolf-like beast, and the Specter of Bhangau, a ram-like creature wielding a hammer and spike. These encounters promise a diverse range of challenges for players.
Khazan's Awakened Form: A Potential Game Changer
The trailer hints at a dramatic transformation for Khazan—an awakened form. This new state sees Khazan enveloped in a red glow and clad in full body armor, unleashing a flurry of devastating attacks with a variety of weapons. While the game already boasts diverse combat options for Khazan, this awakened form appears to significantly amplify his speed, power, and attack combinations.
The trailer showcases Khazan expertly utilizing core combat mechanics: blocking projectiles, parrying attacks, and executing rapid-fire combos. However, the bosses' health bars suggest a Souls-like challenge, with Khazan's attacks inflicting only moderate damage, emphasizing the strategic depth of the combat system.
While Neople hasn't officially confirmed details about this awakened form, the trailer strongly suggests it will play a crucial role in overcoming the game's most difficult encounters, allowing Khazan to unleash devastating damage and extended combo sequences.
The First Berserker: Khazan’s free demo, featuring the first two missions, is currently available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The full game launches March 27, 2025, on these same platforms.
