New Boss Rush Modes Coming to The First Berserker: Khazan with May 15 Update

The creators of the action RPG The First Berserker: Khazan from the South Korean studio Neople have announced the release date for the content update Ultimate Challenge. This update is set to launch on May 15 and will introduce two boss rush modes to the game.

In the future, the balance of these modes may be adjusted based on player feedback. Additionally, the patch will include a feature that allows players to customize the appearance of their protagonist during their first playthrough. To unlock this feature, players must complete the quest “The Blacksmith’s Family Relic.”

In creating the new content, the developers aimed to strike a balance between difficulty and rewarding gameplay, as they believe it would be misguided to pursue hardcore challenges just for the sake of being hardcore.

The First Berserker: Khazan is available on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series with Russian text localization. The game has received a “Very Positive” rating on the Valve store, boasting 90% based on over 10,000 reviews.
