Nexon is giving The First Descendant two June event tracks for new and returning Descendants after the June 18, 2026 update. [Returning] Back to Albion and Boost Path both run until August 19, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. PDT.
Once the update is live, players can open Game Menu (ESC) > "Events" to see the details on the right side of the menu.
[Returning] Back to Albion is aimed at Descendants who logged in after June 12, 2026 at 12:00 a.m. PDT and had not logged in during the 30 days before that login. Nexon said returning status is checked at the event start date, so the reward check does not reset if a player waits another 30 days after the event begins.
The missions are built around Void Vessel, Sigma Sector, Axion Plains, and several infiltration operations. Some of the rewards include Decryption Keys, Voltia, Crystallization Catalysts, Photon Imprinter, Refined Axium Crystal, Trigger Module Loot, Ancestors Module Loot II, and Dimensional Stabilization Keys.
- S2-1 Void Vessel I – Complete Void Vessel ‘Assumed Bridge Zone’ once on any difficulty to earn 20 Decryption Keys, 1 Voltia, and 1 Ultimate Protein Compound.
- S2-1 Void Vessel II – Complete Void Erosion Purge once on any difficulty to earn 1 Core Binder, 1 Crystallization Catalyst, and 1 Returning Growth Support Box II.
- S2-2 Sigma Sector I – Complete Sigma Sector once on any difficulty to earn 1 50% Unique Arche Factor EXP Boost (14-Day) and 1 Photon Imprinter.
- S2-2 Sigma Sector II – Reach Unique Arche Factor Level 40 with any Descendant to earn 2 Crystallization Catalysts and 1 Returning Growth Support Box II.
- S3-1 Axion Plains I – Complete an Axion Plains Battlefield Mission once to earn 1 Refined Axium Crystal and 1 Axium Research Materials Selection Box. The box lets players choose Entropium, Kerasid, Silentra, or Breach Stone Shard to get 50.

- S3-3 Exposed Underwater Base & Legion Laboratory I – Complete Infiltration Operation ‘Exposed Underwater Base’ once to earn 1 Dia Ancestors Module Selection Box, 1 Crystallization Catalyst, 50 Frozen Gas Crystals, and 1 Returning Growth Support Box II.
Returning Growth Support Box II lets players choose one of the listed research-material rewards for Ines, Serena, Harris, Orca, Vortex, Vespers Hunting Dog, or Snowy Sled Dog, or 120 Archive Shards. The Trigger Module rewards draw from modules such as Battering Ram, Arche Leak, Power Beyond, Gap in Time, Death by a Thousand Cuts, Particle Conversion Emitter, Full Arche Jacket, Kuiper Hollow Points, Cyclic Amplifier, Storm Bullet, Tactical Acceleration, Blazing Zone, Supply Fortress, Wave Eruption, Rhythmic Step, Steel Vanguard, Relative Speed, Domino Drive, Infected Weapon, Ground Eruption, and Instant Acceleration.
Boost Path is the simpler of the two events. It is aimed at Descendants with Mastery Rank 15 or lower, and Nexon points players to the official Boost Path page for the full breakdown.
Nexon also said players should check the event timeline before participating. If server maintenance happens on the final day, the event will end when maintenance starts. Mail rewards should show up in the Mailbox within 10 minutes after they are claimed, and players need to collect mailed items before they expire.
