A new gameplay trailer for The First Berserker: Khazan has dropped, showcasing intense boss battles and a possible awakened form for the titular character. Let's delve into the details revealed in this exciting preview.
Epic Boss Encounters Revealed
The trailer features Khazan facing off against a diverse range of formidable foes. One standout encounter pits him against a mysterious boss wielding an umbrella – a significant opponent, judging by the brief cutscene preceding the fight. While the HUD was obscured, leaving specifics unknown, the trailer also highlights battles against two other distinct creatures: Shactuka, a wolf-like beast, and the hammer-and-spike-wielding Specter of Bhangau.
Khazan's Awakened Form: A Power Surge?
The trailer hints at a powerful transformation for Khazan. He appears to enter an "Awakened" state, shedding his usual samurai aesthetic for a red-glowing, fully armored form. This new guise seems to grant him access to a wider array of attacks and significantly enhanced speed.
While the trailer displays Khazan's mastery of combat mechanics – blocking, parrying, and executing rapid combos – his attacks appear to inflict only minor damage on the bosses, emphasizing the game's challenging, Souls-like difficulty. The developers haven't officially confirmed this Awakened form, but the trailer strongly suggests it's a key mechanic for unleashing devastating damage and extended combo potential.
Availability and Release Date
A free demo encompassing the first two missions is currently available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The full game launches March 27, 2025, across these same platforms. Stay tuned for further updates!
