In a post, The First Descendant Director Minseok Joo shared that "Invasion" is basically the beginning with more seasonal updates to be released soon. This should allow players to learn more about the secrets of the Descendants along with discovering the story of Ingris. He went on to say that the seasons are planned to progress in a way that preserves the progression of the Descendants of the players and their collectibles.

Balance Changes

Aside from the new content, Season 1 also introduces balance changes to the game. For the August 29 update, one of these are the improvements to the Void Fragment and Fusion Reactor. For Void Fragments, playing them once on Hard Difficulty now gives enough Void Shards to use the Fusion Reactor once. In addition, the amount of Void Shards that are rewarded in Special Operations have been increased.

For the Fusion Reactor, it now needs Void Shards when using the Reconstructed Device instead of at the start of the mission. With this adjustment, it makes sure that Void Shards are not consumed if players accidentally enter the Fusion Reactor.

The First Descendant is a third-person looter shooter and free-to-play game released back in June 2024. It invites players to be a Descendant and fight for the survival of humanity. Get the game on Steam now.
