Fans have been eagerly waiting for the Breakthrough Update in The First Descendant for a long time, and NEXON just released the demo on Steam. Download the Breakthrough update demo to dive into the Axion Plains, the latest field. Also, get ready to take the role of Nell, a new Descendant.

The First Descendant Breakthrough

New monsters, such as the Abyssal Carapace, are included in the Legion of Breach that the players will encounter. Ride the new Hover Bike to explore the Axion Plain, allowing you to freely roam at speed. Wall Crasher is a new deadly enemy that moves slowly, but deals AoE damage and releases a shockwave to deal additional damage.

Moreover, a pre-registration event for The First Descendant Breakthrough update is also live on Nexon's website, which you can join to get a chance at getting an Ultimate Descendant.

You can play the Season 3: Breakthrough demo on Steam through August 6.

Gain bonus rewards like a Spoils Box and a Crystallization Catalyst upon completing the demo. Fulfill the post-demo survey to earn a Crystallization Catalyst after August 13. Taking part in this event allows players to gain new titles, gold, and three exclusive Hover Bike paints. However, players can gain these rewards after August 13.

Claim exclusive rewards like the Descendant Selection Box, a special title, and milestone bonuses such as a Transcendent Module and an Ultimate Weapon Selection Box by pre-registering through August 7. The Ultimate Descendant Selection Box will also be provided as a reward if the registrations hit the milestone of one million.
