The First Descendant is rising in popularity, so you might be wondering who made it, in order to check out their own titles.
The First Descendant is a free-to-play third-person shooter. It falls under the "looter shooter" category, made popular by the likes of Destiny and Warframe. So, who took a swing at the genre and made The First Descendant? That would be NEXON Games.
Who developed The First Descendant?
The First Descendant, powered by Unreal Engine 5, gives you loads of characters to unlock and utilize as you take the fight to the Vulgus. The online game puts you in a server with many other players where you can tackle missions together and complete a variety of objectives.
Created by NEXON Games, the title saw a fairly success launch despite mixed reviews through Steam. NEXON, a South Korean game publisher, was founded in 1994. It does have offices in the United States, Taiwan, Thailand, and Japan, however.
As the company that made The First Descendant, NEXON is no stranger to putting out massively popular virtual worlds. This is their first jump into the looter shooter landscape, but with quick fixes to the game's issues, they seem to be on top of things.
