The First Descendant hits huge player milestone in just 7 days! | Xbox

Thanks to solid communication for several months now, NEXON has managed to bring The First Descendant, its brand new free shooter-looter developed under Unreal Engine 5 and available for a few days now, to the attention of millions of players. Only 7 days after the launch, the company could boast of having already reached a rather impressive player milestone.

Already more than 10 million players have played The First Descendant

NEXON has announced that in the space of a week, The First Descendant has attracted over 10 million players to its servers. This is obviously a great feat, but it is worth remembering that the game is free-to-play.

On Steam, the title has managed to gather 264,860 simultaneous players, while in France it is the 7th most played game on Xbox and the 9th in the United States. Although very played, the production clearly does not seem to be unanimous. Indeed, out of 56,092 reviews posted on Steam at the time of writing, only 53% of the ratings are positive.

If you want to make up your own mind about the game, however, you can download it for free on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC.

The First Descendant, what is it?

In The First Descendant, players take on the role of Descendants whose mission is to protect humanity and the continent of Ingris from invaders. They progress through various scenarios and missions while discovering a captivating story and developing their character. The title offers detailed environments that create a unique atmosphere, mixing realism, science fiction and fantasy for an unprecedented immersive experience.

The game's characters are diverse and engaging, each with unique skills and fighting styles. The game features extensive customization options, allowing players to change the appearance and equipment of their characters. Combat is dynamic and exhilarating, offering great freedom of movement and varied actions thanks to a grappling hook, colorful weapons, and various effects. This flexibility allows players to adapt their playstyle to their preferences, making each fight unique and engaging.

Co-op is at the heart of the game, with teams of four players teaming up to take on gigantic monsters and titanic bosses. Each monster features multiple destructible parts, requiring strategic coordination to defeat. Players can choose from a variety of difficulty levels, adding a layer of challenge and strategy to the co-op experience. By completing missions and collecting various gear, players can customize and upgrade their characters to overcome tough challenges and fully explore the rich universe of The First Descendant.
