From the NEXON team, the first full trailer has now been revealed for their upcoming third-person cooperative action-RPG shooter, The First Descendant, ahead of Gamescom 2022.
This follows on from the buzz around its tantalizing teaser trailer, as the full-length trailer showcases new details of the game’s dynamic co-op play, epic grappling-hook action, and absolutely massive boss monsters in an immersive Sci-Fi fantasy world.
The First Descendant will be featured in Gamescom Online this year, and players can get a hands-on look at the upcoming looter-shooter via a Steam beta that is scheduled for October 20-26, 2022.
Built in Unreal Engine 5, the high-quality graphics on display show dynamic four-player co-op battles as the Descendants wage war against Karel and his army of alien invaders. In the trailer, Lepic (a versatile fighter with powerful guns built into his arm), Viessa (a debuffer who freezes enemies by controlling cold air), Bunny (super-quick nuke with electrical attacks), and Ajax (the tank with space-warping skills) team up to battle huge alien bosses. More dynamic action can also be seen through additional characters with unique skill sets. The bosses, each with unique appearances and combat styles, are susceptible to distinct player abilities, weapons, and grappling hook attacks that can cling to and remove body parts.
