I’m not gonna lie, sometimes I get super caught up in these game updates and think, "Wow, how did we even get here?" So here we are, chatting about this crazy update for The First Descendant. It’s called Breakthrough—drops on August 7th. Yeah, mark your calendars or whatever. Felt like an eternity waiting, right? But here we are, almost there. Let’s dive in. Or don’t. Up to you.
The Story of Breakthrough
Alright, so Breakthrough. Imagine you’re facing Karel, the big bad guy—the commander of these Vulgus folks. Suddenly, we’ve got the "Iron Heart" doing who-knows-what, and everything’s kind of going sideways in Ingris. All sorts of oddballs like the Legion of Breach and Mutants are popping up like that random relative at a BBQ. Did I mention the Dimensional Wall? Must’ve slipped my mind. It’s summoning some massive deal called the Colossus. Now, Karel’s motives? Still a mystery. What’s his deal with this Iron Heart? No clue. Breakthrough might just spill the beans.
Massive Field, Axion Plains
On to Axion Plains. Gigantic area, new creatures, epic battles—yeah, you’re not gonna get bored here. The Legion of Breach is particularly pesky. These critters adjust to whatever elements thrown at ’em. Kind of like they’re analyzing your moves. Sounds freaky, but destroy some Breach Swarm Sac or Swarm Tunnels and they’re back to square one. Oh, and Assault Ships are literally raining enemies. Makes you think, doesn’t it?
New Ride, Hover Bike
Hover Bikes, anyone? These sweet gadgets help you zoom across those wide fields. Handy, right? Three types—Basic, Speed, and Balance. You can jazz up your ride with some neat skins. Bet you didn’t see that one coming, huh?
8 Player Co-op Colossus Raid, Wall Crasher
Next up, Wall Crasher. Sounds intimidating, right? It is. You got eight players battling this giant thing. Watch for warning signs. They’ll show up, and boom, the Wall Crasher is there. Slow but packs a punch. Got a defensive Descendant like Ajax on your team? Perfect, he’ll be your superhero here.
New Descendant, Nell
Meet Nell. This girl’s been in the shadows for a while, standing by Alpha’s side at Albion HQ. Now? She’s breaking out with telekinetic powers and making waves on the battlefield. It’s like something straight from a sci-fi movie. I still can’t wrap my head around how cool that sounds.
The First Descendant X NieR:Automata Crossover
Hold up! We’ve got a crossover with NieR:Automata. Yeah, with 2B and A2 and all their gear. Plus, some social emotes. Imagine showing that off to your friends in-game. It’s kinda wild, and honestly, a dream come true for some of us obsessing over both worlds.
So there you have it. Dive in, or just marvel at how far things have come since pixel days. Be ready for August 7th! See ya there—maybe.
