The First Descendant, whose open cross-play beta is currently enjoying a healthy spot on Steam’s most played games list. At the time of this writing, The First Descendant has over 77,591 concurrent players, and that figure continues to rise. It’s easy to imagine it landing into the top 10 by the end of the day.
So what is it? Well, The First Descendant is a free-to-play, sci-fi, third-person, co-op shooter that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. But instead of one where rogue machines destroyed human civilization, you fight off monsters to ensure the survival of humanity’s remains following an alien attack.
The First Descendant is developed by Nexon (Korea’s Tencent, basically). The beta is live until September 25, but the full game doesn’t have a release date. Even in these busy weeks for major video game releases, the game already has a sizeable audience. Obviously, it remains to be seen whether it can bring all those players back at launch.
Nexon
that’s a hard pass, no doubt they will push micro transactions to never before heard of realms.
Reminder that whales in Korea had soo much power, they had a round table meeting to force Nexon of Korea to bend to their demands due to Nexon lieong about the “randomness” of line stat generation in maplestory, cauaing them to essentially refund 2 years worth in materials.
They were actually the first ones to create gacha in video games in MapleStory
Yea, I don’t think the Chinese are as bad as them!
I understand Nexon, and F2P, and all that, but having played this in Closed Beta I found it to be a really enjoyable game. Hopefully they don’t mar it with overaggressive monetization.
From the vids it looks like a carbon copy of warframe. Might as well stick with the more mature product with a record of acceptable community interaction.
