Thank you.

Greetings, Descendants.



We’d like to provide additional guidance regarding the discount labels for the Ultimate Bundle and address the issue of discounts not being applied to the Fellow Bundle.

First, we’d like to apologize for the insufficient explanation about the Ultimate Bundle regarding changes to the store introduced with the Season 2 update.

Before the Season 2 update, all Ultimate Bundles already included discounted prices. However, due to legal requirements, we couldn’t label them as "discounted" since not all individual items in the bundle were available for separate purchase.

With the Season 2 update, one of the most requested changes by Descendants—separate purchase for all cosmetic items—has been implemented. As a result, we’ve also added discount labels to the bundled products.

Additionally, we’ve identified an issue where discounts were not properly applied when purchasing the Fellow Bundle while already owning some of the included items.

This issue will be resolved in the upcoming Hotfix 1.2.0c patch, and we’ll be refunding Calibers spent due to this issue. The refund schedule for affected Caliber will be announced in a separate notice.

We sincerely apologize once again for not providing sufficient prior explanations about the store discount labels and for the inconvenience caused by the Fellow Bundle discount issue.

As a token of apology to our Descendants who have experienced inconvenience, we’ll be providing a Crystallization Catalyst.

Greetings, Descendants.



We are planning to address issues arising from the main content updates in Season 2.
We will provide additional updates to this notice as the preparations progress.


■ Improvement of Misunderstood Participation Conditions Due to Void Vessel Quest Path Issues
The Void Vessel content becomes accessible via the Void Vessel Operations Terminal after completing the quest Unidentified Void Vessel Exploration Mission (Void Vessel tutorial completed once). You can then participate in Void Vessel: Normal and Void Vessel: Hard.

However, due to unclear quest guidance, many players have misunderstood that they must complete the Data Recorder Collection stage to progress. This has caused difficulties for many players attempting to complete the quest.
To address this issue, we plan to implement the following changes in the 1.2.0c hotfix scheduled for Saturday, December 7.

The ‘Collect Recording Devices’ will be converted into a side quest.
The Move to Void Vessel for Data Collection button will now be redirected to the Void Vessel Operations Terminal.
These changes aim to clearly distinguish quests that are not mandatory and help players easily recognize that they can already play Void Vessel Operations.

Additionally, we plan to further refine the ‘Collect Recording Devices’ side quest through a future hotfix for a smoother gameplay experience.
You can freely play the Void Vessel Dungeon via terminal after completing the tutorial once. Players who prioritize combat and farming over story progression can complete this quest later at their convenience.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused and will continue striving to provide a better gaming experience.



Thank you.
