The First Descendant will receive patch 1.3.22 on Thursday, March 19, 2026 at PST 00:00, the developer announced in a brief notice.

The preview listed four main areas the team planned to touch:
- Descendant improvements and balance adjustments.
- Void Intercept Battle: Challenge – external component reward adjustments tied to Colossus defeats.
- General content improvements.
- Bug fixes across systems and modes.
