We will do our best to bring you great experiences. Can’t wait to continue this journey together!”

The First Descendant is available now on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and last-gen consoles. It’s currently sitting on a “mixed” user review score on Steam.

Yesterday, Nexon responded to claims the iconography of The First Descendant is strikingly similar to icons found in Destiny 2.

Earlier this week, players identified a surprising number of similarities between the icons and weapons used in the new free-to-play sci-fi shooter The First Descendant and Destiny 2.

In response, publisher Nexon said it is “taking the concerns raised seriously” and will “ensure that the imagery that may appear similar [to Destiny 2] clearly reflects the unique identity of [its] game”.
