"Khazan Boss Fights Highlighted in New Trailer for The First Berseker"

The First Berserker: Khazan has just released an exciting new gameplay trailer that offers fans a thrilling glimpse into the game's challenging boss fights and hints at a powerful new mechanic: an awakened form for the protagonist, Khazan. This trailer was showcased during the IGN Fan Fest on February 27, 2025, by the South Korean developer Neople, sparking excitement and speculation among the gaming community.

New Gameplay Trailer Showcases Umbrella-Wielding Boss

The trailer provides a sneak peek at the diverse boss encounters players can expect in The First Berserker: Khazan. It features Khazan battling an intriguing umbrella-wielding boss, which appears to be a significant part of the game's narrative, as evidenced by a brief cutscene shown before the fight. Although the HUD was not visible during this sequence, leaving some details about the boss undisclosed, the trailer also introduced two other formidable foes: Shactuka, a wolf-like beast, and the Specter of Bhangau, a ram-like creature wielding a hammer and spike.

Possible Awakened Form

A highlight of the trailer was Khazan's transformation into what appears to be an awakened form. This new state changes his appearance from his usual samurai-like aesthetic to a more imposing figure with a red glow and full body armor. This form not only enhances his visual impact but also amplifies his combat capabilities, allowing him to wield a variety of weapons and execute a range of powerful attacks.

The trailer demonstrated Khazan's combat mechanics, including blocking enemy projectiles, parrying, and executing fast-paced combos. However, it was noted that his attacks seemed to have minimal impact on the bosses' health bars, underscoring the game's challenging, Souls-like difficulty. 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 creating complex combos with different weapons.

For those eager to dive into the world of The First Berserker: Khazan, a free demo is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, allowing players to experience the first two missions. The full game is slated for release on March 27, 2025, across these platforms.
