The official Berserk website has been updated with a ton of new screenshots from the PlayStation 4 version of the release, showcasing the game's newly confirmed playable character and a bunch of boss enemies that you'll have to bring down over the course of the title's story.
Starting off with the aforementioned newcomer, demonic mercenary boss Wyald has joined the playable roster. Much like Zodd, Wyald has access to a true demon form, allowing him to balloon in size for maximum destruction.
As for boss enemies, we get a look at the likes of Adon, Silat, Grunbeld, and Femto. All of them appear to be as intimidating as you'd expect, although we're not really sure how a boss fight against the likes of Femto is going to play out. Likewise, it's unclear whether all of these boss characters will be playable - we'll just have to wait and see.
Berserk is supposedly still on track to release this year here in the West, but are you excited for it? Show no fear in the comments section below.

Looking good! Musou games are a bit hit-or-miss, I'm hoping this one turns out great. I've liked what I've seen so far.
Love the fact that this game will incorporate sections of the story that were stripped or missing in both the old and the new anime.
This looks awesome, never heard of it before actually. Too bad it's a Musou game though. Not that I hate them, but I would've liked an action game in this style with these characters.
@Octane Seconding @Tsurii there. It's a perfect match for Berserk. Makes much more sense than any other musou crossover I can think of.
@MarcelRguez @Tsurii I see, well I don't know the series at all, so I can't comment on that; I just think that those screens look pretty awesome. The thing is that I've played a couple of Musou games in the last 1-2 years, and although I like them, I just don't think they're my favourite type of games. But maybe I'll try this out just because it peaked my interest!
@Octane Assuming one of those two is Hyrule Warriors, maybe you'll like this one more, at least when it comes to game feel. Attacks seem to have more weight and momentum in Berserk than in Hyrule Warriors. The general feel of the attacks is usually a point of criticism for musou games and, from what I've seen, Koei seems to be on the mark when it comes to that here.
@Utena-mobile Boscogn, yeah. He's a pretty cool character, and pretty memorable considering how minor he is.
Im not big on muso, but love me some berserk. And for the record I liked bererk before it was cool!
@MarcelRguez I see, thanks! Maybe I should look into an anime adaptation first. I read that there's two, one from 1997 and the new one. Have you watched any of them perhaps? Any recommendations?
This game has peaked my interest as well. However, I'm hoping that it doesn't get released this year since there are already quite a few games releasing between October and December that I'm interested in.
@Tsurii Thanks! I'll definitely try to avoid the new anime then. I'm sure I can find the manga online, but I rather watch something than read manga, so if the films or anime series can do the manga justice, then I think that should fine for me as well. Just to get into the franchise, because I'm definitely intrigued by the things I've seen so far; I think I'll like it.
@Utena-mobile Well if it's just 25 episodes, then I'll watch the anime first! I think I'll watch the films as well, just to get a different perspective. Thanks!
@Utena-mobile I'll do! Thanks again
I'm not really into anime but I recently watched a guy make the Dragonslayer sword from this series. It was great, so interesting to watch.

@Octane Definitely agree with @Utena-mobile about watching the 97 anime first and foremost. Stay away from the new series, it's beyond horrible.
Other than that, keep in mind there's no definitive adaptation of Berserk. The manga is where's at. If you like the series you owe it to yourself to catch up with the manga. It's so good it has ruined most other series for me.
