We'll start with the release date of The First Descendant Season 1. The game originally released on July 2, 2024. Its Season 0 began on that date with a ton of missions, materials, weapons, and Descendants to uncover and unlock.

Now, Season 1 is on the horizon. With it comes more missions, another new Descendant, and plenty of other content you can collect. Here is a countdown for the release date:

If the update is maintenance free, it will go live right at midnight PT. That's typically how NEXON has done things. If a maintenance period is announced, the release date for The First Descendant Season 1 will stay the same, but the time will change. We'll update the countdown accordingly.
