The First Berserker: Khazan has thrilled fans with its latest gameplay trailer, unveiled during IGN Fan Fest on February 27, 2025. This trailer not only showcased intense boss fights but also hinted at a potential awakened form for the protagonist, Khazan. Let's delve into the exciting details revealed in the trailer.
New Gameplay Trailer Showcases Umbrella-Wielding Boss
South Korean developer Neople treated fans to a captivating glimpse of the game during IGN Fan Fest. The trailer featured Khazan engaging in epic battles against formidable foes, including an intriguing umbrella-wielding boss. This boss appears to be central to the game's narrative, as evidenced by a brief cutscene leading up to the confrontation. Although the HUD was not visible during the fight, the trailer also introduced two other bosses: Shactuka, a wolf-like beast, and the Specter of Bhangau, a ram-like creature wielding a hammer and spike. These encounters promise challenging and diverse combat experiences for players.
Possible Awakened Form
The trailer also teased a dramatic transformation for Khazan, suggesting an awakened form that diverges from his traditional samurai-like appearance. In this new state, Khazan is enveloped in a striking red glow and clad in full body armor. This transformation grants him access to an array of enhanced attacks and the ability to wield various weapons. The awakened form not only increases his speed but also amplifies his combat effectiveness, allowing for swift blocking, parrying, and executing high-speed combos. Despite the increased potency of his attacks, the trailer highlighted the game's Souls-like elements, as the bosses' health bars showed minimal damage from Khazan's strikes, emphasizing the challenge ahead.
While Neople has not officially confirmed details about this awakened form, the trailer suggests it will be a key mechanic for dealing significant damage and executing complex combos with different weapons.
For those eager to experience The First Berserker: Khazan, a free demo is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, offering the first two missions. The full game is slated for release on March 27, 2025, across these platforms.
