While it’s difficult to surprise anyone with 2B as a skin or a guest character, Season 3 in The First Descendant unleashes some crazy creativity with this collaboration.
A big update is coming to this shooting game! The First Descendant is ready to unveil Season 3 with a new character, weapon, battle stages, story chapter, and more.
One specific aspect of this version catches the players' eye. 2B and A2 outfits are part of the first-ever collaboration event: NieR: Automata x The First Descendant. Following a good tradition to treat the fans to something extraordinary, the game has an unusual version of 2B. An addition to the traditional form, the android girl appears in her damaged version — with no skirt.
2B and A2 in The First Descendant
The first reveal of this collaboration happened during the PAX East 2025 developer stream. Every aspect of Season 3 in The First Descendant got the spotlight there. The NieR: Automata event is among the main highlights of this presentation.
Two brilliant androids come to the shooting game. You can use original outfits of 2B and A2 for your The First Descendant characters.
We couldn’t see that “no skirt” damaged version of 2B yet. The game keeps some intrigue. The developers want to focus on new content for their games, so the NieR: Automata collaboration is only about cosmetics. It’s a decent continuation for the tradition of bunny outfits and Hot Spring skins in The First Descendant.
The First Descendant: Breakthrough — Season 3
The game receives a good portion of gameplay features as part of the Season 3 content update. The main story goes on with The First Descendant: Breakthrough season. It takes a big turn, introduces a romantic relationship, and brings back some key characters.
Shooting battles rush into a new battlefield, Axion Plains. It’s filled with mighty Colossus and various opponents — such as the new creature Wall Crasher and the artificial life forms from the Legion of Breach.
