The First Descendant Is Gearing Us All Up For Another Fight For Survival

The First Descendant

The First Descendant is here to tease us with a new co-op looter shooter with The First Descendant hitting beta soon

Grab your virtual guns and get ready for another fun co-op title with the reveal of The First Descendant. Originally, this was going under the working title of Project Magnum just in case you think it sounds familiar, but NEXON has been working on it and is ready to tease us all with a bit of gameplay. Some gameplay that shows off a bit of the other worlds we will go to in The First Descendant along with how the various characters will function to help each other out. All so we can end it all with humanity on top or realizing they were the true villains at the end of it all. That is kind of how our Sci-Fi has been going in the past few years. Maybe they will shake things up for all of this when it hits the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. If we can wait longer than October to get in with the beta, that is.

When it comes to the details for The First Descendant, beyond the four-player co-op and other basics for the game, all we have is a short look and description to go on here. It definitely looks like they are diving into the functionality and visuals that the UE5 engine can offer up, but with most of the characters looking and feeling like many we have seen in the past, it is hard to see much in the way of something new. Maybe that will be coming out of Gamescom here soon where a longer look for The First Descendant is set to be unveiled out there. Then again, most of these kinds of games look quite cookie cutter to me with the space marine heading out to fight something with some fantastic tech or abilities that surround them in different lighting. What I am saying here is, bring on the beta test to prove all of that wrong.

Have you been waiting to see how The First Descendant has evolved from what it first was and is that still waiting for now? Do you think that we will get something more than the basic four-player so-op that we normally get or will this be the publisher’s way of getting deeper into the setting? Will the character customization offer the deeper things we are looking for or will that also be in the modes and gameplay loops that will be coming too? Tell us all of your ideas on this down in the comments and then feel free to discuss it if you so wish. If we get more for The First Descendant, know that we will do what we can to share it all here.
