The highly anticipated Season 3 Breakthrough update for The First Descendant is finally here. It's available for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam. One of the highlights is the massive new Axion Plains field.
The Axion is a massive open field that serves as the main stage for the Breakthrough update. There was a time when humanity had tried to establish its second survival base in Axion. However, that area was eventually abandoned due to unstable dimensional energy and recurring Void Storms. Here players can encounter a new enemy faction known as the Legion of Breach.
The Axion Plains also introduces a mission-based system known as Battlefield. It's designed to encourage players to band together and take on challenges together. While missions that are designated as Battlefields feature increased difficulty, they offer greater rewards. Since the designated Battlefields rotate periodically, players are naturally drawn to rally around them.
In-Game Event
As part of the new update, new in-game events have been launched. Into the Axion Plains runs from August 7 to September 3. There are three Daily Missions available and those who complete them get to obtain rewards like Energy Control Cores, Precision Ion Accelerators, and Ion Accelerators. There are also three Weekly Missions where each one offers a lot of rewards.
Another in-game event is Axion Plains Breakthrough which started August 7 and end October 15. By logging in, players can receive different rewards. These include a Crystallization Catalyst and all the way to an Axion Breakthrough Box.
The new update sees the arrival of Nell to the roster which you can read about here. Learn more about the Breakthrough update here.
