The First Descendant Update Released, Here’s What’s New

by

As a seasoned gamer with over a decade of experience under my belt, I must say that The First Descendant has managed to keep me engaged and entertained since its release back in June. With over 100,000 active players on Steam at this very moment, it’s clear that Nexon is doing something right.

At the moment of publication, The First Descendant continues to thrive with more than 100,000 active players on Steam. In an effort to cater to this massive player base, developer NExon has been consistently pushing updates and fixes since the game’s debut in June. One such release was unveiled this week, Hotfix 1.0.6, designed for players to test out. Although it’s light on new content due to being a hotfix rather than a full update, it does include enhancements for various aspects of the game and two changes aimed at improving the overall player experience.

As a seasoned gamer with years of experience under my belt, I can attest that updates for games often come in various forms, but hotfixes are usually the ones that don’t bring much excitement. This time around, it seems like Nexon has rolled out a hotfix, and as expected, the patch notes are brief. With most changes focused on bug fixes, I guess we can expect a more stable gaming experience, albeit with no significant new features to look forward to. However, these small improvements matter too, and they often make our gaming sessions smoother. So, while it might not be the most thrilling update, I’m still eager to see how this hotfix impacts the gameplay.

Content Improvements

  • An indicator will be displayed when a slot item that already expanded the relevant slots to the limit is included as bundle content, making it easier to check.
  • Also, the price of the slot item will be deducted from the overall bundle price before the purchase, if the number of the slots already reached the limit.

Optimization Improvements

  • [PS5] Improved some CPU load issues.
