The First Descendant News

[h3]Greetings Descendants. [/h3][h3]This is The First Descendant Producer Beom-jun Lee.[/h3][p] [/p][p]I would like to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment you experienced due to the recurring issues during the recent Season 3 update. Through today’s announcement, I would like to address the issues related to the "Battle Pass" and "Wall Crasher" content.[/p][p] [/p][p]First, regarding the "Battle Pass," there were continuous errors such as Weekly Challenges not refreshing and abnormal Daily Challenge EXP gains, which directly affected our Descendants' achievements and rewards. This issue arose during our response to Battle Pass errors after the 1.3.1 patch, and it was caused by inadequate handling by the Dev Team and an insufficient QA process. As the person in charge, I would like to apologize once again. We would like to assure you that we are continuously working to resolve the remaining issues.[/p][p] [/p][p]Next, regarding the highly anticipated "Wall Crasher," we identified issues with reward drops at the beginning of the season, as well as unintended gameplay that exploited the party play function. We are currently preparing improvements for these issues.[/p][p] [/p][p]We also humbly accept the feedback that Season 3 content as a whole has not met expectations in terms of stability and completeness. The Dev Team will do their utmost to address the remaining issues with urgency while ensuring the previously announced monthly update plans continue without delay.[/p][p] [/p][p]In addition, the Dev Team aims to pursue more fundamental and sustainable improvements by learning from the issues that have emerged this season.[/p][p] [/p][p]Above all, we plan to establish a more stable development environment by reorganizing inefficient internal processes that have accumulated since launch.[/p][p] [/p][p]Not only will we make short-term efforts to prevent issues through more thorough inspections, but also, in the mid- to long-term, plan to comprehensively review and address problems within our inefficient development processes that have accumulated over time.[/p][p] [/p][p]Through these efforts, we will do our best to develop faster and more stable response capabilities to provide updates that will better satisfy our Descendants.[/p][p] [/p][p]While it may not fully make up for the disappointment our Descendants have felt regarding these issues, we have prepared the following compensation as a token of our sincerest apologies.[/p][p] [/p][p]■ Compensation[/p][p]- Rewards will be delivered to your mailbox within approximately 10 minutes of logging in on the distribution date specified below.[/p][p]ㄴ The Battle Pass EXP compensation will not be delivered through the Mailbox but will be automatically applied upon login. If it is not correctly applied, please try logging in again.[/p][p]- The Mail Expiration Date is 09.10.2025 (Wed) 23:59 PDT. Please make sure to claim your rewards before expiration.[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]We sincerely apologize once again and promise to work diligently to offer better service in the future.[/p][p] [/p][p]Thank you.[/p]

[h3]Greetings, Descendants.[/h3][p] [/p][p]We would like to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment caused by the recent issue regarding the TikTok Creative Challenge.[/p][p] [/p][p]The TikTok Creative Challenge is a program where TikTok creators voluntarily produce and submit content that may be used as advertisements.[/p][p] [/p][p]After confirming with TikTok, we learned that no system currently exists to verify potential copyright infringement, and TikTok is now conducting further investigations to identify any additional cases.[/p][p]One confirmed case involved unauthorized use of DanieltheDemon’s content by another creator. TikTok identified this as a violation of its guidelines and has already blocked the creator’s account.[/p][p] [/p][p]We would also like to clarify that we do not upload creator advertisement videos as regular posts on The First Descendant’s official TikTok account. Creator advertisement videos are displayed when users access The First Descendant’s official account through advertisements.[/p][p]In contrast, if the official account is directly searched and visited, these creator advertisement videos are not displayed. This feature was newly implemented by TikTok on August 15 (Friday), and therefore these videos may have appeared as if they were posted and then deleted, but that is not the case.[/p][p] [/p][p]We are taking the TikTok advertisement issue very seriously, recognizing that we failed to uphold the authenticity of our marketing content and to respect the efforts of our creators and community.[/p][p] [/p][p]As a result, we will strengthen our advertising and marketing review processes, including additional review steps with our development team, to ensure that such issues do not recur. We are committed to thoroughly improving our review practices.[/p][p] [/p][p]We will also be committed to continuously being more transparent and responsible to regain the trust of our community and creators.[/p][p]Once again, we deeply apologize for the disappointment and inconvenience this incident has caused.[/p][p] [/p][p]Thank you for your understanding.[/p]

[h3]Greetings, Descendants.[/h3][p] [/p][p]We would like to inform you about the schedule for this week’s 1.3.2 patch. [/p][p] [/p][p]■ Patch Schedule[/p][p]- Scheduled for PDT 2025.08.21(Thu) 00:00[/p][p]※ The schedule is subject to change, and details will be provided in the Patch Note once the patch is complete.[/p][p] [/p][p]■ Platforms[/p][p]- Steam, XBOX SERIES X|S, PS5[/p][p] [/p][p]■ Patch Preview[/p][p]- Content Improvements[/p][p]- Bug Fixes[/p][p] [/p][p]Thank you.[/p]

Nexon says it has discovered "certain irregularities" in a recent ad campaign for its gooner-looter-shooter The First Descendant, and is now "we are conducting a thorough joint investigation with TikTok to determine the facts."..

South Korean publishers Nexon are investigating a recent bit of TikTok marketing for their free-to-play shooter The First Descendant, after players spotted some ads that feature AI-generated 'human' streamers bigging up the game. Well, we at least have to assume it's following that, as Nexon's statement omits mentioning AI in favour of the wonderfully nebulous phrase "certain irregularities".

If you've not seen one of these ads that look to have been posted by The First Descendant's official account, allow me to show you, because you'll see right quick why folks have been asking questions. Boom. There are further booms compiled into one Reddit post by user iHardlyTriHard down below.
