If you play The First Descendant, prepare for some downtime. The developers have announced a server maintenance window that will affect game access and companion app features. This is important because it includes a Season 3 demo, weapon adjustments, and a hotfix that might change the gameplay experience.
Maintenance Schedule
- PDT: July 23, 2025, 22:00 – July 24, 2025, 05:00
- EDT: July 24, 2025, 01:00 – 08:00
- JST: July 24, 2025, 14:00 – 21:00
- CEST: July 24, 2025, 07:00 – 14:00
- AEST: July 24, 2025, 15:00 – 22:00
The First Descendant will be unavailable during this period. Also, the companion app’s attendance check, game info view, and search functions will not work while maintenance is ongoing.
What to Expect
- Introduction of the Season 3 Axion Plains Demo
- Weapon rebalance adjustments that could affect your combat tactics
- Hotfix 1.2.23 to address current issues
- Other content improvements
- Bug fixes to improve stability
Developers have said they will share more details about Hotfix 1.2.23 soon. It’s always a bit of a question how these changes will affect gameplay, so I’m curious like you are. Will the weapon changes be enough to shake things up and try new builds? We’ll see!
Do you think the new Season 3 demo will bring fresh challenges?
