Sure, let’s try this out.
Alright, so we’re just days away from this big update for The First Descendant, dropping on August 7. And honestly? I can’t thank you enough for hanging in there with us. Seriously, your support is everything.
Right, so I’m buzzing to chat with the Xbox crowd today about what’s cooking this season. It’s fun connecting with you all like this and giving you a sneak peek at what’s on the horizon.
The Story of Breakthrough
You know the dude Karel, right? The main bad guy of the Vulgus crew? Well, he’s finally stepping up his game. He’s flipping the switch on something called the “Iron Heart” and let me tell you, chaos is all over Ingris now. Weird stuff’s popping up at Axion Plains near Albion. Descendants are on the case, but it’s wild – there’s this Legion of Breach and Mutants crawling around. Not to mention, this freaky Dimensional Wall opened up. Oh, and Colossus decides to crash the party. Humanity? We’re having a bit of a moment with this crisis. But, like, why is Karel doing all of this? What’s his endgame with the Iron Heart? Yep, we’re finally going to get into that in Breakthrough.
Massive Field, Axion Plains
So, Axion Plains. Huge area in Breakthrough. It’s got all kinds of new beasties and their attacks? Absolutely bonkers. A word of advice: the Legion of Breach monsters here are wild. They kinda adapt to whatever you throw at them element-wise. It’s all because of this Breach Swarm Sac thingy – it figures out what you’re using against them and then swaps up the Breach Creatures accordingly. Breaking the Swarm Sac or Swarm Tunnels changes things up a bit too. Don’t forget those Assault Ships pelting enemies down on you – need special skills to take those out. Intense, right?
New Ride, Hover Bike
Now, ever wanted to zoom across Axion Fields? Enter the Hover Bike. It’s all about zipping around smoothly and even pairs well with things you do like, I don’t know, grappling hook moments. Feeling fancy? There are three types: Basic, Speed, and Balance. You can pimp them up for more oomph. Plus, skins and future attachments are on the menu to make it your own.
8 Player Co-op Colossus Raid, Wall Crasher
Picture this: Axion Plains, middle of nowhere, and then bam! There’s the Wall Crasher. This big guy shows up thanks to a Colossus Guided Device. It’s like being on high alert and then suddenly there he is. You’re in an eight-player battle, and the Wall Crasher’s just swinging with these massive area attacks. It’s almost slow-motion but deadly – you gotta move, keep sharp. And thank goodness for allies like Ajax who can throw down with defenses when needed.
New Descendant, Nell
Forget what you know about Nell. She was once this cool exec officer with Alpha at Albion, but she’s stepping up now as a full-blown Descendant. All-new look, skills – it’s epic. She’s got telekinetic powers now, pulling off moves like she’s in an action flick. Power, precision, you name it.
The First Descendant X NieR:Automata Crossover
And here’s something you didn’t see coming – a crossover with NieR:Automata. They’ve dropped in legendary characters like 2B and A2 as playable skins. Don’t get me started on the back attachments and emotes. It’s all laid out for the fans, and as huge admirers ourselves, it’s going to be something.
Hope this read sparks some excitement. See you on August 7! Let’s dive into chaos together.
There you go!
