NEXON games revealed a new trailer for their upcoming game The First Descendant. The showcase included the game’s lore and the new Unreal Engine 5.2 gameplay. The First Descendant Crossplay Open Beta releases on PC via Steam, Playstation 4 and 5, Xbox one, and Xbox Series X on September 19, 2023. The open beta will also be free to play.
The trailer revealed during Gamescom’s Opening Night Live shows a glimpse into the world of The First Descendant. The game’s central conflict stems between the Descendants and the alien race known as Vulgus. The Descendants fight for the future and the preservation of the human race against the invading Vulgus. Humanity’s last hope for survival rests with the Descendants as they clash on the continent of Ingris. As fights ensue, the mysterious Ironheart is revealed, a tool that possesses the power to potentially wipe the threat of the Vulgus from the face of the continent. Unique character abilities were also revealed and sneak peeks into boss fights against the formidable Colossi were shown as well.
Earlier this month, NEXON announced that the upcoming Crossplay Open Beta would be available for anyone who registers here. NEXON Games is working to ensure that all those listed to participate in the Crossplay Open Beta will be able to experience the title optimally on any platform of choice.
Additional information about the upcoming game is the classification of the game being a free-to-play third-person PvE co-op action RPG shooter. Players will embody a Descendant whose sole mission is to combat the invading alien race, the Vulgus. The Vulgus crossed over dimensions around 100 years ago and brought with them the devastating Colossi. The Vulgar seek one thing: the annihilation of the human race. The survival of the human race will depend on the player’s choices and their encounters as they grow stronger with every mission they complete. Cooperation is everything in this game. In order to successfully defend the continent, strategic 4-player boss fights must be fought and won successfully. Through the myriad of missions and boss fights, players will collect new gear and various items to help them on their future missions.
