EXPERIENCE A SNEAK PEEK OF THE FIRST DESCENDANT BREAKTHROUGH UPDATE DEMO AVAILABLE NOW

 

The First Descendant Breakthrough Update Demo Features New Descendant Nell, Legion of Breach Battles, Hover Bikes and the Wall Crasher 

Today, NEXON released the official demo for the highly anticipated Breakthrough update for their looter-shooter title The First Descendant, now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam through August 6. To give players a sneak peek at what’s coming in the Breakthrough update, NEXON is delivering a curated gameplay experience that teases the action-packed content of the upcoming season.

Set in the expansive Axion Plains, the demo lets players experience core features from the upcoming Breakthrough update. Axion is a vast new field that serves as the main stage for the update, where players take on the role of the newly introduced Descendant, Nell, and embark on a mission to explore the region. Players will also face off against the Legion of Breach, which includes new monsters such as the Abyssal Carapace. To roam Axion’s open terrain, players can ride the new Hover Bike, offering the freedom to explore at high speed. Another challenge is the Wall Crasher, a slow-moving but devastating enemy that unleashes shockwaves, wide-range strikes and area of effect (AoE) attacks.

Players who complete the demo will immediately receive bonus rewards, including a Spoils Box and a Crystallization Catalyst. As part of the Survey Event, players who complete a post-demo survey will receive a Crystallization Catalyst after August 13. Also, to support both new and returning players, The First Descendant will launch the Axion Plains: First Look Demo Event, where all participants will receive an Axion Box containing rewards such as new titles, gold and three exclusive Hover Bike paints. These items will be distributed after August 13.

Launching August 7, the upcoming Breakthrough update offers a plethora of thrilling content, including the massive new Axion Plains field, the Hover Bike vehicle, the Colossus Field Raid, the new Descendant Nell and the Nier: Automata crossover. Players can engage in large-scale battles, explore new dungeons and more as they immerse themselves in the new content.

Players can also pre-register now through August 7 to claim exclusive rewards including a Descendant Selection Box, a special title and milestone bonuses such as a Transcendent Module and an Ultimate Weapon Selection Box. If total pre-registrations reach one million, the fans who pre-register will also receive an Ultimate Descendant Selection Box.
