Nexon released the first full-length trailer for its upcoming hero-based shooter game titled 'The First Descendant.' Hero-based shooters have risen to prominence in the past few years with high-profile titles such as 'Overwatch,' 'Valorant,' and 'Paladins,' amongst many others. These games are popular for the importance placed on teamplay, coordination, and tactics, combined with iconic, memorable characters.
The First Descendant is a four-player co-op shooter that challenges players to work together to conquer bosses, hordes of enemies, and difficult dungeons. The game draws inspiration from MMORPGs such as Destiny and Warframe, placing emphasis on character development and looting equipment. The first beta for The First Descendant will launch on October 20th, 2022, on PC via Steam, and will be live for one week until October 27th.
