The First Descendant is officially turning one, and Nexon is celebrating with a massive anniversary event that includes a free Descendant, multiple Ultimate-grade weapons, and a host of in-game rewards. Running from July 3 to August 13, the event coincides with the launch of Season 3, which brings new content and improvements aimed at reigniting player interest.

🔄 Nexon’s Commitment to Quality and Feedback
While The First Descendant stormed onto the scene following its July 2, 2024 launch, its momentum has slowed in recent months. Player counts have dipped, but Nexon has continued iterating on the experience by listening to community feedback and adding meaningful updates.
One notable change is Nexon’s decision to drop support for last-gen consoles, focusing instead on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S to deliver a more consistent and visually impressive gameplay experience.
📅 Season 3 Begins
Alongside the anniversary event, Season 3 of The First Descendant has launched with new systems, improved performance, and balance adjustments based on player feedback. This season represents a fresh start, aiming to bring back lapsed players and welcome newcomers with open arms.
Nexon is using The First Descendant anniversary event not just as a celebration, but as a turning point for the game. With free characters, powerful weapons, and a renewed focus on quality, now is the perfect time to jump back into the world of Ingris—or discover it for the first time.
Be sure to log in daily, complete missions, and visit Anais in Albion before August 13 to maximize your rewards.
