"Khazan Boss Fights Featured in New Trailer for The First Berserker"

The First Berserker: Khazan has captivated fans with its latest gameplay trailer, unveiled during IGN Fan Fest on February 27, 2025. Developed by South Korean studio Neople, the trailer provides a thrilling look at the intense boss battles players can expect, alongside a glimpse of what might be an awakened form for the titular character, Khazan.

New Gameplay Trailer Showcases Umbrella-Wielding Boss

In the trailer, fans were treated to a sneak peek of Khazan engaging in combat with an intriguing umbrella-wielding boss. This encounter appears to be pivotal, possibly part of the main storyline, as the trailer included a brief cutscene leading up to the battle. Although the HUD was not visible during this sequence, limiting our understanding of the boss's mechanics, 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. These battles promise to add depth and excitement to the game's narrative and gameplay.

Possible Awakened Form

A highlight of the trailer was Khazan's transformation into what appears to be an awakened form. His appearance shifts from a traditional samurai aesthetic to a more armored look, accompanied by a striking red glow. This new form equips Khazan with a range of powerful attacks and different weapons, enhancing his combat capabilities. The trailer showcased Khazan's ability to block enemy projectiles, execute parries, and perform fast-paced combos, embodying the game's dynamic combat system. Despite the potency of his attacks, the minimal impact on the bosses' health bars underscores the game's challenging, Souls-like mechanics.

While Neople has not officially confirmed details about this awakened form, the trailer suggests it will be a key feature, enabling Khazan to unleash devastating damage and execute complex combos with various weapons.

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