New Lounge Update Expands The First Descendant With Ultimate Luna and Social Hub

September 8, 2025 John Silver Comments

The First Descendant, Nexon’s free-to-play co-op looter shooter, has kicked off its latest seasonal update with a focus on both combat depth and social features. Headlining the patch is Ultimate Luna, a powered-up take on the turret-wielding Descendant first introduced in Season 3. Players also gain access to the new Lounge, a personal showroom in Albion that doubles as a relaxed hangout between missions.

The First Descendant sits in the same “shoot & loot” lane as Warframe and Destiny 2, blending third-person gunplay with character-specific abilities. Nexon has been pushing The First Descendants hard with consistent updates since its launch. While the game's playerbase has declining from its initial hype launch, playerbase has stabilized over the last 6 months. It currently peaks at around 13,500 players on Steam.

Ultimate Luna – Two bespoke upgrade modules, Battlefield Concert (ranged AoE damage) and Battlefield Artist (firearm proficiency), let Luna pivot between support fire and direct DPS.
Lounge social space – Players can display Descendants, Fellows, and hoverbikes, set up animations like instrument jams, and prepare for a future update that lets friends visit.
New Trigger Modules found in Axion Plains:
- Storm Bullet – Creates a damaging orb where piercing skills land.
- Tactical Acceleration – Temporarily buffs shooting speed and movement for the squad after a supply skill.
- Blazing Zone – Drops a lingering burn field when a towing skill is used.
New Fellow: Snowy Sled Dog – Restores MP to keep ability-centric builds firing.
Lepic rework – Better mobility, grenade burn synergy, and an Overclock fire-rate burst push the starter Descendant into a more aggressive role. Blair, Freyna, and Bunny also receive balance passes.
QoL updates – View leaderboard builds, improved party finder recommendations, and other interface cleanups.
Time-limited events – “Sing Along with Luna,” collectible merchant missions, daily log-ins for crafting items, and several new character skins.
