The first descendant Dia

Yesterday, The First Descendant team hosted a new devstream that introduced players to the game’s next update. Titled “Unveiled Truth,” episode 3 of season 3 introduces the new Descendant Dia, which was revealed back in December. The new Descendant is a skill trader who uses a lance, and she brings her new ice-related skills with her. It also brings players new puzzles to solve.

The new update brings quite a bit of new content to the free-to-play shooterenough to justify a three and a half hour stream. Additional content includes the Exposed Undersea Base dungeon, a Vulgus base on the coast of Axion. The dungeon features an “infiltration operation” with new enemy types and a new elite monster boss that provides benefits when a player successfully dodges attacks.

Players can also purchase new weapons: the E-Buster and the Eye of the Storm. The former offers the ability to increase the power of electrical skills, while the latter is a beam rifle that switches between two modes: Typhoon and Storm. Typhoon attacks eight enemies at once. Storm deals heavy damage to a single enemy.

Players can also look forward to a selection of balance changes, a new Battle Pass and more. The update will go live on February 5th.
