Action RPG The First Descendant Gets Full Reveal, Beta Dates

NEXON has released the full reveal trailer for its upcoming third-person co-op action RPG shooter The First Descendant along with its first-ever beta. The game was originally teased earlier and since then we have been looking forward to Gamescom 2022 for the full reveal of the title and now we are finally here.

Check out the full reveal trailer for The First Descendant below before we jump into additional details:

The latest trailer for The First Descendant unveiled new details about the game such as the title’s dynamic co-op gameplay, grappling-hook action, and absolutely massive boss monsters in an immersive Sci-Fi fantasy world. The game features high-quality graphics built in Unreal Engine 5, and it shows dynamic four-player co-op battles as the Descendants wage war against Karel and his army of alien invaders. The trailer showcased four unique players teaming up for a brutal fight.

These include Lepic (a versatile fighter with powerful guns built into his arm), Viessa (a debuffer who freezes enemies by controlling cold air), Bunny (super-quick nuke with electrical attacks), and Ajax (the tank with space-warping skills) fighting huge alien bosses together. As additional characters join in the party, more dynamic action can be seen. Each of the bosses in the game also features unique appearances and combat styles and they are weaker against certain player abilities, weapons, and grappling hook attacks that can cling to and remove body parts.

Key features of the game include:

4-Player Co-Op Play – Team up with other players for four-player co-op strategic battles. Each player’s amazing powers and abilities will lead to tactical battles for the win.

Charming and Unique Characters – Play as different characters, each with distinctive concepts and battle styles. Characters will have customizable elements to allow players to support character decoration. Don’t miss your chance to play as 10 different characters during the closed-beta test this Autumn.

Exciting Battles, Dynamic Action, Multiple Skills, and Unique Weapons – Experience exciting battles with different characters, each with unique skill sets, free movements, and chain actions through grappling hooks, colorful firearms, and additional effects. Players create the battle style they desire!

Battle Huge Boss Monsters – Battle huge boss monsters with different appearances and abilities. Various powers and difficulties will stimulate the player’s competitive spirit as you struggle not to fall in battle. Target the boss’s gimmicks to experience a more compact and strategic team play.

Motivating Play and Growth – Equip characters with 3 guns, 4 pieces of secondary equipment, and various sub-weapons. Use and change the equipment based on the types of battles encountered.
