Promising free-to-play looter shooter, The First Descendant, made an appearance at The Game Awards, giving us a cinematic look at combat between a new Descendant and a terrifying Colossi. We were rewarded with a release window: Look out for The Last Descendant on PS5 and PS4 in Summer 2024.
Nearly 2 million people took part in the Destiny-like's recent open beta on PS5, and we got a chance to spend some time with the game and came away impressed. Following the beta, developer Nexon Games will address the top-requested enhancements, including (but not limited to) cleaner UI, optimized graphics and greater mission variety.
What do you think of The First Descendant? Is your interest piqued? Let us know in the comments section below.

Lost me at “free to play”
Free to play and a looter shooter lost me after that.
I actually played it and they haven't lost me, I had a good time in the beta
I’ll play it if they sort out the balancing issues. I hit a point in the open beta where it was basically impossible to progress on my own because the game threw more enemies at me than I could handle.
Free to play, looter shooter all I needed to know to stay the hell away
On one hand, looter shooter game, urgh.
On the other, it felt nice seeing some thicc...guns. Thats all, guns.😙🎵
'Free-to-play looter shooter' = bin
I payed two dollars for Anthem and managed to have a decent time.
I will probably be trying this.
I've been waiting for this for what seems like ages. I played the beta and I really enjoyed it so its going to be worth it when it finally drops.
Having played the recent beta and read some of the feedback and news from the developer, Nexon Games, I'm quite optimistic! They're taking players feedback and have been working to balance progression so it has a meaningful effort vs. reward cycle.
It's free-to-play, and so people writing it off just because it's free-to-play and a looter-shooter, without ever actually having played the game, are just selling it short because that's the trend. It's free-to-play, so it'll cost you exactly $0.00 to play the game when it comes out and form an opinion based on how the game actually plays!
@Bentleyma I accidentally found a work-around for that - find players doing higher level content, join in their fights and you'll get weapons drop at their levels and not yours. Could make you OP easily.
@Mortal Good to know, thanks! Hopefully it’s something they’ll fix and I won’t have to resort to that.
