Nexon has unveiled The First Descendant Season 1, called Invasion, alongside fresh details on a new playable character, lore, and plenty more coming to its popular free-to-play co-op focused looter shooter.
The new Descendant is Hailey, a legendary sniper who stars in the trailer, below. Also coming with Season 1 are new Invasion Dungeon challenges and seasonal power scaling. Here’s the story setup:
Season 1 starts on August 29 and will be available via a series of three updates across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Series X and S, and PC via Steam.
The First Descendant has enjoyed enormous popularity with over 10 million players in just 10 days. But it has been heavily criticized for its ultra aggressive monetization, which includes the cost of Ultimate versions of its playable characters. IGN has reported on one player who spent an eye-watering 200 hours to unlock every Ultimate Descendant currently available in the game without paying money.
