The First Descendant News

Greetings, Descendants! This is The First Descendant's Producer, Lee Beom-jun.

The First Descendant Crossplay Open Beta Test, which took place from September 19th (Tue) to September 25th (Mon), has come to an end. We sincerely thank all the players who enjoyed The First Descendant for a week.

This test was a significant challenge and a series of startling moments for our development team. Although making thorough preparation for the test, double checking every corner, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience during gameplay caused by unexpected shortcomings.

More players than the previous test are providing diverse feedback across different platforms. Once again, the development team is thoroughly examining every opinion the community is sending.

We will carefully review every feedback from our players, which is utmost valuable, and make the best of what we can implement. We will share applicable matters through various means such as Dev notes or videos, just as we have done so far.
We believe the main source of making First Descendant a better game is upon our community’s voice. So, if you have any feedback, please do not hesitate to participate in the survey, which will be open until 9/26 (PDT). [SURVEY LINK]

Thank you once again for dedicating your valuable time to The First Descendant’s Crossplay Open Beta Test.
