About the Game

The First Descendant is an online-only looter-shooter with mechanical similarities to other MMO-lite giants like Warframe, Destiny 2, and The Division 2. It combines the large open maps of Destiny 2 with Warframe's free-to-play model and progression system, albeit with more emphasis on in-app purchases with a Battle Pass system.
