A new gameplay trailer for The First Berserker: Khazan has dropped, showcasing intense boss battles and a potential awakened form for the titular character. Let's delve into the details revealed in this exciting preview.
Epic Boss Encounters Revealed
The trailer offers a glimpse into several challenging boss fights. A key encounter features a formidable opponent wielding an umbrella, seemingly a significant character within the main storyline, as suggested by a brief cutscene preceding the battle. Unfortunately, the HUD was obscured during this fight, leaving specifics about the boss's mechanics unknown.
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
The trailer hints at a powerful awakened form for Khazan. This transformation dramatically alters his appearance, replacing his usual samurai aesthetic with glowing red armor. This new form grants him access to a wider array of attacks and significantly enhanced speed.
The trailer demonstrates Khazan's versatile combat abilities, including projectile blocking, parrying, and rapid-fire combos. However, the bosses' health bars suggest a Souls-like challenge, with Khazan's attacks inflicting only moderate damage, emphasizing the game's difficulty. While details remain scarce, it's clear this awakened form will be crucial for unleashing devastating attacks and executing extended combos using a variety of weapons.
Availability and Release Date
A free demo encompassing 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 slated for March 27, 2025, on the same platforms. Stay tuned for further updates!
