by theygamesWhen is The First Descendant coming out? It’s been coming for a while and has been through several betas allowing players a chance to get hands-on time with the game, but now it’s about to arrive. Nexon’s looter shooter looks set to bring a big slice of co-op action to gaming, and if you can’t wait to dive in – here’s all the details you’ll need.
The First Descendant was originally headed for a 2023 launch but the co-op game was pushed back after feedback from its first set of beta tests. Now, the First Descendant release date is right around the corner, and the last few betas have been received much more positively. This third-person looter shooter is now prepared to make its appearance on the world stage, and you’ll need to be ready for it.
Nexon has recently announced exactly when you’ll be able to play The First Descendant in your region, along with full information about when preloads will happen.
