The First Descendant Season 2: Void Chaser Launching December 5

Casey Scheld3 weeks ago

Dubbed “Void Chaser,” Season 2 of NEXON’s third-person co-op action RPG shooter The First Descendant will launch early next month, on December 5.

Scope out the major updates for The First Descendant Season 2: Void Chaser below:

New Descendants: Keelan and Ines Raya 

Belonging to specialized reconnaissance unit H.O.U.N.D Void Vessel operations, both Keelan and Ines Raya are joining the fight for Albion. 

Keelan will be available at the Season 2 launch, utiolizeing toxic abilities and a consecutive dash skill that pierces through enemies. Note that Ines Raya will debut in January.

New Dungeon: Void Vessel 

In this new dungeon, a formidable boss named Dread Armor awaits in an unidentified abandoned ship. 

Massive in size, but its weapons evolve with each phase—from a handgun and shield to dual melee weapons, and finally to dual handguns. Available in both Normal and Hard difficulties, defeating Dread Armor will reward players with Keelan and the new companion Fellow. 

New Arche Fellow

Restored from the Void Vessel’s genetic material comes a familiar lifeform from the ancient Ancestors. Offering various battle support, this season’s Shepherd Fellow is also customizable – always ready for pets. 

New Sharen Story Quest

The First Descendant players can start to unlock the secrets behind Sharen and her archenemy through various new story quests. 

New Ultimate Sharen

Unleash Ultimate Sharen’s skills: Area Suppression hurls daggers in a 360-degree radius for devastating impact, while Caught in an Ambush boosts movement speed, reduces skill cooldowns, and reactivates stealth upon enemy kills. 

While in stealth mode, Ultimate Sharen possesses the ability to avoid traps.

New “Void Abyss” Intercept Battle

As part of this Intercept Battle, The First Descendant players will set out to disrupt their Void Reflux Mode to stop them from regenerating their parts and enhancing their abilities.

Through this battle, Descendants will be able to receive Colossi-themed skins.

New “Hammer and Anvil” Ultimate Weapon

The Hammer and Anvil will not support a firing mode switch to Anvil Mode. Pressing the aim button switches the weapon into Anvil Mode, firing a single explosive projectile that detonates after a set duration, releasing pellets in all directions.

New “Voltia” Ultimate Weapon

The Voltia Beam Rifle will be available for free through the Season 2 battle pass. This Ultimate Weapon sets out to harness the electrical current discharge technology used in Bunny’s suit, emitting energy that chains damage to enemies that surround an initial target.

Voltia can break through Anti-Void shields, which are typically only destructible by skills. This, in turn, makes this Ultimate Weapon incredibly valuable in Void Vessel missions.
