Summary
- The First Descendant developer Nexon teases an exciting reward set to come to the Battle Pass with the launch of the game's Season 3 update.
- The First Descendant's Season 3 will reportedly feature a Common skin available through the Battle Pass for the first time.
- Nexon has attempted to entice fans back to The First Descendant with plenty of major updates, adding new Descendants, game modes, and plenty more to the online shooter.
A new update from The First Descendant developer Nexon has revealed an exciting new update coming to the Battle Pass for the game's upcoming Season 3. The online looter shooter has seen plenty of success following its launch last year, despite largely seeing mixed reviews from fans and critics. The shooter would quickly amass more than 10 million downloads within just a week of the game's release, reaching the top of Steam's best-sellers chart in the frenzy following its launch. Now, an exciting update looks to be on the way for the game's next competitive season.
While The First Descendant saw massive success following its release, the game has struggled to maintain its impressive early numbers. The First Descendant saw a sharp decline in its player count within the first six months, losing more than 90% of the game's initial playerbase. Nexon even confirmed it would be ending support for the game on older platforms, with the PS4 and Xbox One versions scheduled to be sunsetted in June 2025. A new update from the developer, however, looks to be providing an enticing reward with its next Battle Pass.

The First Descendant Adding Huge Reward to Season 3
As reported by VideoGamer, Nexon has revealed that an exciting new reward will be coming to The First Descendant with its third season. Season 3 of The First Descendant will feature a Common skin as part of the rewards for the Battle Pass for the first time in the game's history. The skin will reportedly be themed around the game's new season, with Nexon acknowledging fan feedback about the value of The First Descendant's Battle Pass. The First Descendant's Season 3 is currently expected to launch sometime in June.
While not much has been revealed about the Season 3 update, The First Descendant has already seen plenty of major updates in March. The First Descendant launched its newest Ultimate Descendant earlier this month, with Ultimate Blair coming with a variety of Skill Modules for increasing his Crit stats and applying burn damage. The patch also introduced the Challenge difficulty for the Void Erosion Purge game mode, bringing plenty of brand-new rewards for players to earn.
A new skin will look to entice players back to The First Descendant as Nexon has continued to push multiple updates for the game each month. The "Episode 2" update to The First Descendant's Season 2 brought a wealth of new content to the game in March, adding in new story content alongside a new Descendant in Serena. Nexon also introduced the "Arche Tuning" system to the game, offering players a new way to optimize builds for different Descendants. The First Descendant will hope to re-ignite some of the game's launch magic with its exciting Season 3 update.
