The First Descendant

Blending high-tech spectacle with co-op intensity, The First Descendant is a free-to-play action RPG shooter from NEXON Games, released July 2, 2024. Set in a sleek sci-fi warzone, squads of distinct Descendants combine class-like abilities, grappling-hook mobility, and loot-driven builds to dismantle colossal bosses. Precision gunplay, elemental synergies, and mod tuning push a steep skill ceiling that rewards pros who optimize rotations and execute clean team strategy. On PC and PlayStation 5, the experience leans into crisp visuals, responsive 120hz-capable combat, and fast matchmaking for raid-style encounters. Progression centers on crafting elite loadouts, mastering difficulty tiers, and chasing high-end drops that separate champions from the pack. For players hunting sci-fi shooter games like Destiny 2, this release offers an accessible on-ramp with depth for min-maxers and a cadence of seasonal challenges to keep squads sharpening their edge.
