The First Berserker Khazan Patch Notes (March 27): Boss Nerfs, Balance Changes, and More

Everything you need to know about The First Berserker Khazan’s patch notes, including boss nerfs, weapon balance changes, and more.

The first major title update for The First Berserker Khazan is now live on all platforms. With the first post-launch update, developer Neople not only aims to fix the game’s performance-related issues on consoles but also introduce balance changes based on early access feedback. The game was released in early access exclusively to Deluxe Edition owners on March 24, 2025. Since then, the developers have been monitoring player reports and feedback.

Although the game was received quite well by players and critics alike, it did have its fair share of issues. Chief among these issues was a bug that resulted in the game crashing during a key boss fight.

Furthermore, some of the early and mid-game bosses in the game (Viper and Maluca) were reported by many players to be a tad too difficult, even in the dedicated Easy Mode. With the latest update, Neople has addressed all these issues. Here’s a look at The First Berserker Khazan’s latest patch notes (March 27, 2025) and balance changes.
