The First Descendant News

The First Descendant immediately shoots up the Steam charts, and could even pose a threat to Elden Ring soon

Do you remember The First Descendant? It’s Nexon’s free-to-play loot shooter that’s been in the news for about two years. It first landed with an impressive cinematic trailer that was followed up months later by various beta tests.

Connor and I played it a year-and-a-half ago and found it competent, if lacking that special hook. After announcing a release date at Summer Game Fest just a couple of weeks ago, The First Descendant has now officially launched and a lot of people are playing it right now.
