The First Descendant: A Success in Beta
After nearly two million gamers tested the one-week open crossplay beta of The First Descendant, Nexon Games is drawing a positive conclusion. During the beta, players were not only able to immerse themselves in the beautiful game world, but also try out a variety of characters.
However, there are also some points that the development team, led by producer Lee Beom-jun, wants to improve. Many players have provided constructive feedback, particularly regarding mission repetition and underutilization of fields.
Planned Improvements for The First Descendant
Nexon Games has taken player feedback to heart and is now planning "significant improvements" for The First Descendant. At the top of the list is the quality of missions and a greater variety of content in the fields. They are also aiming to add features for co-op play and support matchmaking for dungeon missions.
During the beta, there were also complaints about the difficulty of obtaining ammunition. This issue will also be addressed. The revamped abilities with the grappling hook and parkour have received positive feedback, but there is still room for improvement.
Focus on User Interface and Player Experience
Another important point is the user interface and player experience. Producer Lee Beom-jun emphasizes that growth elements, motivation to play, and simple gameplay over a longer period of time are particularly important in looter shooters. Therefore, the team is working to improve the feeling of character growth and ensure that players are not frustrated by repetitive gameplay.
Unclear Release Date
While the exact release date of The First Descendant cannot be announced yet, producer Lee Beom-jun assures that the development team is doing everything possible to deliver a high-quality game. The insights gained from the beta also play an important role.
Until the release, we can occupy ourselves with the best free Steam games and look forward to the release of The First Descendant.
