The First Berseker: Khazan Boss Fights Showcased in Latest Trailer

A new gameplay trailer for The First Berserker: Khazan has dropped, showcasing intense boss encounters and hinting at a powerful Awakened form for the titular character. Let's delve into the details revealed in this exciting preview.

Boss Battles Unveiled: A Glimpse into Khazan's Challenges

The trailer offers a thrilling glimpse of several boss fights. One standout encounter features a formidable opponent wielding an umbrella – a boss that appears to hold significant narrative weight, judging by the brief cutscene preceding the battle. Unfortunately, the HUD was obscured during this fight, leaving specifics about its mechanics a mystery.

However, two other bosses were clearly identified: Shactuka, a wolf-like creature, and the Specter of Bhangau, a ram-like beast armed with a hammer and spike. These diverse opponents promise a varied and challenging gameplay experience.

Khazan's Awakened Form: Unleashing Untapped Power

The trailer's most striking reveal is a potential Awakened form for Khazan. This transformation dramatically alters his appearance, shifting from his usual samurai aesthetic to a red-glowing figure clad in full body armor. This enhanced state grants him access to a wider array of devastating attacks and significantly increased speed.

While the trailer showcases Khazan's mastery of blocking, parrying, and rapid-fire combos, his attacks against these powerful bosses seem to inflict only minor damage, emphasizing the game's Souls-like difficulty. The developers haven't officially confirmed this Awakened form, but the trailer strongly suggests it will be a crucial mechanic for unleashing devastating damage and executing extended combo sequences with various weapons.

Availability and Release Date

A free demo, offering access to the game's first two missions, is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The full release of The First Berserker: Khazan is scheduled for March 27, 2025, on the same platforms. Stay tuned for further updates!
