Excitedly sharing that I’ve learned about the upcoming Season 3 update for “The First Descendant”, the thrilling free-to-play cooperative looter shooter game! Developed by Nexon Games and published by Nexon, this update promises a fresh battlefield, a new rideable Hover Bike, Colossus Field Raid, an innovative social space called “The Lounge”, a brand new Descendant character, and plenty of other exciting additions. The release date is set for this summer! To top it off, there’s a collaboration with Square Enix’s iconic game, “NieR: Automata”, which focuses on cosmetic items to customize your characters. Can’t wait to dive back in!
Regrettably, our partnership is centered around designing decorative elements at this time, as we are working on refining the core aspects of our game. Consequently, we’ve chosen to allocate more resources towards Season 3 content instead of other NieR: Automata collaboration features. Nevertheless, in addition to the A2 and 2B costumes, we’ve also prepared a damaged version of 2B without a skirt, along with additional motions and decorative elements.
Here are the details:
