Free-to-play multiplayer shooter The First Descendant is causing a big stir with its Season 3 update, which will be released this summer. This new season, called “Breakthrough,” is full of huge updates that will bring a whole new dimension to the game. But the most notable development is the official collaboration with the popular action role-playing game NieR: Automata. This surprise partnership will bring the costumes of beloved characters 2B and A2 from the NieR universe to the world of The First Descendant.
Season 3 “Breakthrough”: New Map, Vehicle, and Social Area
The First Descendant Season 3, “Breakthrough,” introduces players to an all-new open-world area to explore. This vast and dangerous region, called the Axion Plains, will be filled with both mechanical and mutated enemies. A special vehicle called the Hover Bike, which will allow you to move quickly and efficiently on this new map, is also being introduced to the game. All players who log in to the season will be able to get their hands on the standard version of this useful vehicle for free.
Along with the “Breakthrough” season, a new PvE (Player versus Environment) content called “Colossus Field Raid” will also be available, where players will be able to compete in teams of eight for the first time. An epic battle with the giant “Wall Crasher” boss will await players after an exciting ride on a large area with their Hover Bikes. Teamwork and coordination will be of great importance in this challenging challenge. In addition, a customizable social area called “Lounge” will be added to the game, where players can display their characters’ costumes and special items they have earned, increasing the interaction and socialization opportunities between players.
NieR: Automata Cosmetic Collaboration: Iconic Costumes In Game
The highly anticipated collaboration between The First Descendant and NieR: Automata will focus entirely on cosmetics for now. The creators state that they are limiting the collaboration to character costumes and decorative items at this stage, as they focus on further developing the game’s core mechanics and gameplay. However, this is a very exciting development for fans of the NieR series. As part of the collaboration, the game will include the iconic costumes of characters 2B and A2, as well as 2B’s damaged and skirtless appearance, and special animations specific to the NieR universe. These cosmetics will allow players to fight in the world of The First Descendant with their favorite NieR characters.
New Playable Character Nell and New Modules for “Ultimate Luna”
Nell, who will join The First Descendant's playable character roster for the first time with Season 3 "Breakthrough", is also arousing great curiosity. Standing out with her unique telekinesis-based abilities and aggressive playstyle, Nell is preparing to offer players a brand new experience. Two new modules prepared for the current playable character "Ultimate Luna" will provide players with the flexibility to choose the one that best suits their playstyle between weapon use and rhythm-based abilities. In addition, new sword-class weapons and modules specially designed for these weapons will be added to the game with the season, thus further enriching players' combat strategies and character customization options.
First Anniversary Event “TFD Fest” is Coming
As part of the first anniversary celebrations for The First Descendant, which will be held in the summer, a special event called “TFD Fest” is planned. This event will include various costume design contests and surprise in-game events for players. The First Descendant is currently available for free to play on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms, and with the “Breakthrough” season, it will be waiting for its players with even more expanded and exciting content on these platforms. With the NieR: Automata collaboration and other huge innovations, Season 3 stands out as an update not to be missed for The First Descendant players.
