The First Descendant throughout its preliminary pre-season launch has been an enormous success for Nexon, particularly given the studio’s clear dedication to really responding to participant suggestions. Gamers have been wanting ahead to the sport’s correct kick-off with the foremost Season 1 replace, too, however Nexon’s not too long ago revealed schedule for The First Descendant: Season 1 “Invasion” has drawn no small quantity of backlash.
At first, Nexon made it seem as if every thing proven for the Season 1 replace could be a part of the preliminary launch, solely later revealing that the plan was for the brand new content material to be break up between three completely separate updates unfold throughout three months. This instantly drew ire from gamers, however Nexon has already responded to the suggestions and adjusted the Season 1 replace schedule.
Initially, The First Descendant: Season 1 “Invasion” was break up between three updates on Aug. 29, Sept. 26, and Oct. 30, drip feeding the brand new content material over the course of a number of months. Now, the brand new plan is for the preliminary Season 1 replace, which incorporates the brand new Descendant, Hailey, the Season 1 Battle Go, new seasonal development, and a brand new form of single-player dungeons, to drop on Aug. 29 as regular.

Watch On
Total, I actually do suppose Nexon is surpassing expectations and shocking gamers with the replace cycle for The First Descendant. The studio has been fast to handle participant suggestions and implement modifications that truly make the sport higher and extra enjoyable, and has (for probably the most half) admitted to and discovered from its errors. That is one other probability for the studio to be taught, it appears.
Even the brand-new replace preview trailer linked above makes no point out that The First Descendant: Season 1 “Invasion” is being drip fed to gamers throughout a number of updates, for instance. Whereas gamers are responding extra positively to the extra condensed replace schedule that Nexon has now dedicated to (and acknowledged the devs for his or her fast response), there are nonetheless some points.
Many TFD gamers nonetheless really feel misled by the preliminary Season 1 reveal, and I do not blame them. The expectation was for the preliminary replace to incorporate every thing proven, and for Nexon to launch smaller, shock content material updates all through the development of the season. Now, it appears as if we have already seen every thing we will anticipate for the sport over the following three months, and we’ll have to attend for lots of it.
On high of that, the unfold of content material nonetheless feels unusual. Largely, it seems that the distinctive Modules for the brand new Descendant, Hailey, aren’t being added to the sport alongside her. Meaning gamers must wait to correctly construct Hailey till a future replace that truly provides the content material that totally takes benefit of her talents. It is an odd transfer, to say the least. Many gamers are additionally dissatisfied that Final Freyna is now not simply across the nook.
After all, Nexon cannot simply make every thing prepared for launch on Aug. 29. It’s extremely probably that options like Final Freyna and the Dying Stalker Colossi boss battle merely aren’t able to be launched but, therefore the choice to maneuver up the third Season 1 replace whereas pushing again the second. Hopefully, although, Nexon will be taught from this for future TFD updates, being extra clear about replace plans and never drip feeding content material, which is a really quick option to frustrate gamers, as many different reside service video games have proven.
