We are less than a week away from July 2nd.^n.d The launch of Nexon’s free-to-play looter shooter, first child, which is coming to PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Today, thanks to a new one PlayStation Blog Post by the game’s producer, Byumjin Lee, we now have a clearer picture of what to expect at release.

A total of 19 Descendants will be playable at launch, including 14 original and five Ultimate Descendants, who are said to be high-performance versions of a handful of original characters. The core gameplay loop will consist of looting and shooting, of course, with the goal of crafting your own unique characters. Five new biomes not seen in previous beta tests have been added for launch, as well as 16 new endgame instance dungeons, and 16 Void Intercept Battles, which are large boss raids that Nixon says The highlight of The First Descendant.

There seems to be a bit of a graphical glow-up at launch on PS5. In addition to fidelity and performance, a new balanced graphical mode will be available. The team is also tapping Unreal Engine 5 features, virtual shadow mapping, ray tracing options, and AMD frame generation, if that’s your cup of tea.

I am looking forward to landing on July 2nd.^n.dAs First Descendant looks like another free-to-play game that will try to rule my gaming life.
