The First Descendant Preseason: End date, Battle Pass, new weapon, more

The First Descendant is the new looter shooter from Nexon Games and it started with a Preseason at launch. Here’s when the Preseason ends and all the content that came along.

After the likes of Destiny 2 and Warframe, The First Descendant is the brand-new game to join the live-service looter shooter space. It’s a completely free-to-play experience with full crossplay and cross-progression support bolstered with tons of characters, weapons, and fast-paced action against gigantic bosses.

Similar to Ubisoft’s XDefiant, you can play the Preseason for a few weeks before Season 1 takes over. If you’re wondering what the duration of this Preseason period is and what content it brought, here’s everything you need to know.

The First Descendant Preseason duration

The First Descendant Preseason started on July 2 and will end on August 29, 2024, running for eight weeks.

This was confirmed by Lee Beom-jun, the game’s Producer in an interview with This Is Game where it states: “The Season 1 update takes place in the 9th week after a total of 8 weeks of pre-season.”

Preseason Battle Pass cost and content

The First Descendant Preseason also comes with a Battle Pass. It costs 500 Caliber or $10 with 96 rewards in total – all divided within 12 pages with 8 rewards in each.

Coupled with free and premium tracks, there is plenty to claim for every type of player. That means, if you don’t want to spend real money but still earn rewards, you have that option as well.

You also get the Sigvore’s Proof, which is the ultimate launcher in the Battle Pass. That’ll be an instant unlock for Premium Pass owners whereas free riders will have to wait longer.

The game’s Director, Joo Min-seok, confirmed there will be other content such as “Daily Challenge, Weekly Challenge, Season Challenge, etc” apart from the regular Battle Pass.
