The First Descendant Steam Beta Test Preparation: Game Introduction (1)

Hello, Descendants!

It's been a week since our new teaser trailer has been released. Even though the trailer may not be enough for you to get the full story, it was our chance to feel your full support for our game. We want to thank you once again for such interest in our game. From now on, we would like to deliver our information step by step before the Steam Beta begins. As for today's first session, we will briefly go over our plans along with our game introduction.

Project Magnum and The First Descendant
The First Descendant first came out to the world last year in September under the name of "Project Magnum." The trailer of "Project Magnum" was made on Playstation 5 using Unreal Engine 4, which was being developed during that time. We were surprised to see how our trailer gained lots of attention, which led to more than 2 million views. Since then, we've made many changes to our project. We selected "The First Descendant" as our final title of the game. And we replaced Unreal Engine 4 with Unreal Engine 5 with a tremendous amount of work. Although it was inevitable for us to delay the development process due to COVID-19, we are trying hard to provide you with the best experience on our game shortly.

The meaning of The First Descendants and players' role
We would like to explain how "Project Magnum" became "The First Descendant". In "The First Descendant," you are called "Descendants" who inherited the unknown powers to save humanity in the world. In this case, you, as a player, are the "First Descendant" that saves the world. You are given a mission to fight against the invaders like huge bosses and monsters to protect the 'Ingris Continent', which is the hometown of humans. Throughout the gameplay, you can discover the secrets of the Descendant's unknown power and the Ingris continent one by one.

Plans for the future
We are currently working hard to see you without any more delay. As it was mentioned previously, we are going to release our full trailer at Gamescom 2022. Also, we will share various news about the First Descendant through our social media channels where we can actively listen to your thoughts regarding our game. Please keep posted on our Steam Beta as we will do our best to keep up with your expectations.

Thank you.
