Khazan’s New Update Will Bring Fresh Chaos and Challenges

The First Berserker: Khazan has been out a few weeks on PC, Ps5

and Xbox

and players have already begun to dig up its darkest secrets. Now, the devs at Neople have laid out plans to enhance the game with new content and features that add to its hardcore cred.

The First Berserker: Khazan — Two New Boss Rush Modes

In a message signed by June Leethe game’s creative director, the arrival of Hardcore Mode is revealed for May 15. The mode will provide a more intense experience for players who wish to push their reflexes and skills to the extreme.

• Great General’s Crucible: Themed boss groups with pre-determined equipment. Special reward for completion.
• Berserker’s Bloodshed: Linear battles with character progression and final reward of new weapons and sets of equipment.

Option to change appearance from the first playthrough (after completing Blacksmith’s Heirloom quest).

Late May / Early June Planned Changes

• No shortcut resets or immediate boss retries, to prevent bugs in current sessions.

New quality-of-life features:

• Items that allow fast travel to Crevice or the last Blade Nexus used (permanent items).

• Teleporting between Blade Nexuses within the same mission.

• Replaying missions for farming will now drop you right at the Spectral Portal.

• Phantom Form Mode buff (details in the next Dev Note).

Mid-June Update Preview

Balance Changes:

• Dual Wield, Greatsword, and Spear skill redesign.

• Gear set effect setup changes.

New Features:

• Equipment and skill presets.

• Gear level up system.

• Weapon scaling overhaul.

• Quality-of-Life Improvements:

• Sort items by name.

• Storage expansion.

More Special Content Still Under Wraps

The mid-month patch is only the start. Late May or early June will see Khazan receive another patch that introduces quality-of-life features, including a fast travel system and other aspects to make exploration and progress management better.

It’s curious that despite this update having a confirmed release date for May 15, the studio reserves the option to delay it. This would only happen if an unforeseen issue arises that forces them to do so. However, it seems everything is set for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC users to enjoy two new game modes in The First Berserker: Khazan on that day.
