The First Descendant News

The looter shooter with cool Spider-Man-ish grappling hooks, The First Descendant, has pushed back its open beta dates to September 19-25th. Previously, it was planned for a late August timeframe. Since the full game and the upcoming beta support crossplay, developers Nexon say the delay will help to optimise the game on all platforms. So you can loop laser rope threads with buddies on consoles, no problem.

Hello, Descendants.

We are sorry to announce that we have decided to postpone the Crossplay Beta for an additional 4 weeks prior to its original schedule.
This decision was made based on the additional development we need in order to make a better stable environment for each PC & Console platform.

Please check the changed schedule below.
- As is: Tue, 08/22/2023 00:00 – Mon, 08/28/2023 23:59 PDT
- To be: Tue, 09/19/2023 00:00 – Mon, 09/25/2023 23:59 PDT

For the Descendants who have been looking forward to joining the test at a much earlier time, we deeply apologize that we could not keep the schedule we promised.
It was never an easy decision to make, and we kindly ask for your understanding. Our development team is doing their best to make an optimal crossplay environment for various platforms.

Along with the change, we are also preparing for the test so that as many people can join and play.
Currently, we are finalizing the details of the Beta test and we will share them on August 4th (Fri) via Dev Talk video.

Thank you.

Hello Descendants. This is the Creative Director for The First Descendant, Minsuk Joo.

Today, I would like to talk about improvements made to the Rune System, which is the most important function in strategizing in The First Descendant. In particular, we will be taking a close look at the improvements made and functions newly added from the previous Steam Beta Test.

For details, please check the link below.

A solid grappling hook can redeem many a videogame sin, so it's my earnest hope that the The First Descendant's laser ropes can make up for its bullet spongey bosses. Both are on display in a new gameplay trailer, which also reveals the full game will swing out later this year following a week-long open beta in August. Both the full game and the beta will be free to play, and both will have crossplay - so maybe you can rope in yer Xbox and Playstation pals too.
