The First Berserker: Khazan Ultimate Challenge Update Arrives May 15

Nexon and Neople have announced the “Ultimate Challenge” update for The First Berserker: Khazan, launching May 15, 2025. Tailored for players who have completed the main campaign, this update introduces two punishing boss rush modes that elevate the endgame experience.

The Great General’s Crucible brings a curated gauntlet of theme-based bosses with preset gear, where players progressively unlock harder challenges and earn exclusive rewards. Meanwhile, Berserker’s Bloodshed offers a rogue-like structure where you build strength between battles, pushing toward a final boss encounter with top-tier loot at stake.

These modes aren’t just about combat—they reflect the game’s core design philosophy: challenge, mastery, and reward. While they remain locked behind story completion, this decision ensures players understand the mechanics before diving into the fire.

Other additions include the ability to customize your character’s appearance earlier via the “Blacksmith’s Heirloom” quest. And looking ahead, an upcoming patch will rework Phantom Form Mode and implement community-driven tweaks.

This update shows Neople’s intent to keep the momentum going post-launch, with meaningful content aimed at long-term fans. For action-RPG lovers drawn to Soulslike mechanics, Khazan‘s evolving challenge curve offers a fresh arena to prove their skill.
