The First Berserker: Khazan's latest gameplay trailer unveils thrilling boss fights and hints at a powerful Awakened form for Khazan. Let's delve into the details of the showcased battles and explore the potential mechanics of this new transformation.
The First Berserker: Khazan's New Trailer Showcases Diverse Boss Encounters
An Umbrella-Wielding Boss and More
IGN Fan Fest 2025 treated fans to a sneak peek at Khazan facing a variety of formidable foes. The trailer features a striking battle against a boss wielding an umbrella—a character seemingly significant to the main storyline, judging by the brief cutscene preceding the fight. Unfortunately, the HUD was obscured during this encounter, leaving specifics about this boss shrouded in mystery. However, two additional bosses were clearly identified: Shactuka, a wolf-like creature, and the Specter of Bhangau, a ram-like beast armed with a hammer and spike.
Khazan's Awakened Form: A Spectacle of Power
A highlight of the trailer is Khazan's apparent transformation into an Awakened form. This dramatic shift sees him shedding his samurai aesthetic for a red-glowing, full-body armor ensemble. This new form unleashes a flurry of devastating attacks, showcasing Khazan's proficiency with a range of weapons.
While the game already boasts diverse combat options for Khazan, this Awakened form elevates his speed and attack power significantly. The trailer showcases his mastery of combat mechanics, including blocking projectiles, parrying attacks, and executing rapid-fire combos. However, the bosses' health bars barely register the damage, hinting at the game's challenging, Souls-like difficulty.
While developers haven't officially confirmed details about this Awakened form, the trailer strongly suggests it will be a crucial mechanic for unleashing devastating damage and executing extended combos using various weapons.
A free demo of The First Berserker: Khazan is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, offering players a taste of the first two missions. The full game launches March 27, 2025, on the same platforms.
