Oops, we’re almost at that day, August 7, when the big Breakthrough update for The First Descendant drops. Seriously, if you’ve been waiting, thanks a bunch for sticking with us. It’s kind of heartwarming, y’know?
Anyway, let’s dive into this new season stuff. Especially for you Xbox fans, here’s the scoop.
## The Messy Tale of Breakthrough
Okay, so here’s the deal. Karel, the big bad commander of the Vulgus, gets front and center. He activates something called “Iron Heart,” and all of a sudden, it’s chaos in Ingris. What’s with all these dimensional weird vibes around Axion Plains by Albion? It’s like, you think things are already bad, then bam! Creepy Legion of Breach and Mutants pop up. And, like, just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, a Dimensional Wall opens — cue the Colossus. Karel seems to have a list of crises he wants to tick off, but what’s his endgame with the Iron Heart? We’ll finally get the juicy details.
## Huge Field Thingy Called Axion Plains
Axion Plains isn’t just big — it’s HUGE! Loads of new beasties are roaming around, seriously out to make it tough for ya.
Here’s a fun nugget, the Legion of Breach, our buddies(?) adapt to whatever we throw at them. They’re essentially born from something called the Breach Swarm Sac. Destroying these or their tunnels is key, each thing affects the enemy differently. Also, Assault Ships rain more baddies on the battlefield, but there’s a catch — nifty skills or pickup weapons are needed to take ‘em down. Keeps you on your toes, right?
## New Ride: Hover Bike
Whoa, zoom through Axion Fields on a Hover Bike now! We wanted it real smooth, sort of like how a good cup of coffee warms you up. Three types available: Basic, Speed, and Balance. Yep, you can upgrade ‘em. Make your Hover Bike truly yours with custom skins and, later on, some funky attachments.
## 8 Player Co-op Colossus Raid
And then there’s the Wall Crasher. Massive, right there in Axion Plains. Here’s a pro tip: when it shows up, dodge those massive area attacks! It’s slow but packs a wallop. Get a defensive buddy, like Ajax, to shield the team. Seriously, teamwork makes the dream work here.
## New Kid: Nell
Meet Nell, the new Descendant. Once, she was rubbing shoulders with Alpha at Albion HQ, now she’s a force of nature with crazy telekinetic moves. It’s like that sci-fi flick you love, but LIVE.
## The First Descendant X NieR:Automata Crossover
Brace yourselves! NieR:Automata characters come swinging in. You’ll see 2B, A2, plus weapons and those little Pods as back attachments. Oh, and some special emotes too, because why not?
We hope this messy, wild ride got you hyped for what’s coming. Can’t wait to see you all out there on August 7. Catch ya then!
