Game News The future of The First Descendant looks reassuring! Players can no longer complain about missing content
One of the most anticipated games of the summer was, of course, The First Descendant. Although the first few weeks were more than successful, players already seem to have had enough of it. Fortunately for developers, the future still looks reassuring.
A turbulent start
Since its announcement during a State of Play some time ago, The first descendant was definitely one of the games to keep in mind. As summer approaches, it has even become a title that players are waiting for a relatively long time before it releases on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series on June 30th. The game, developed by Korean studio Nexon, subsequently benefited from a huge increase in players and even reached almost 265,000 concurrent players on Steam on July 7.enough to confirm its status as the main game of the summer. It must be said that, in addition to its very entertaining gameplay between Destiny and Warframe and its more than convincing graphics, The First Descendant had many arguments to attract people.
Since this more than successful launch, however, Nexon’s game has gradually lost players. Today, a month and a half after its release, The First Descendant has around 80,000 concurrent players on Steam, a drop of no less than 70%.. This is particularly due to a certain redundancy in gameplay as well as a lack of high-level content, two things that are fundamentally fatal for service games like The First Descendant. Fortunately, the future could make everything better.
A reassuring future
All developers of service games know that a regular reboot of the hype is absolutely necessary to maintain a certain number of active players. This is how titles like Fortnite, Helldivers II or even Diablo IV still manage to survive or even find an exceptionally large number of players at certain times. To do this, you have to release new content often and, above all, communicate effectively so that players know what to expect in the coming months. Good news for fans of The First Descendant, that’s exactly what will happen with the game. Recently, Noxon revealed the roadmap for the game and suffice it to say, there will be new things.
As you can see in the picture above, The first season of The First Descendant is scheduled for the end of August As announced at the game’s release, the latter was to stand out for its main event: a new episode called invasion. In addition to the latter, a new Descendant with its own story should also appear. Of course, other, somewhat longer-awaited additions should also be included, such as a new dungeon, a new weapon, a new skin and even a new Ultimate Descendant. But the best thing about this whole announcement is that Nexon has decided to put its cards on the table by planning evenly the arrival of the second season for early December. So players can now organize themselves to take advantage of seasonal content, knowing that they should be active for about three months. Season 2 should also bring some great stuff, including a new Mega Dungeon and a new companion. If you’ve been putting The First Descendant aside, it might soon be time to get it out of the closet.
