Everything you need to know about The First Berserker Khazan’s latest update, including the patch notes, the new Challenge Modes, and more.
The latest title update for The First Berserker Khazan is now live across all platforms. While the update, like any other, comes with a host of bug fixes, balance changes, and UI improvements, its primary highlight is the new Challenge Modes.
Revealed last week, Neople teased the Challenge Modes as the new content addition that the studio is planning to implement into their game. The Challenge Modes are essentially a “boss rush” mode, albeit with different modifiers. The new Challenge Modes also come with their own unique rewards, including new, incredibly powerful weapons and armor sets. In addition to all that, the update also comes with PC-specific improvements, specifically in the Settings menu.
Here’s a look at the game’s official patch notes for The First Berserker Khazan’s latest update (May 15, 2025).
