The First Descendant
End of Steam Beta Testing
This is The First Descendant's Producer, Lee Beom-jun.
First, thank you for actively participating in the Steam Beta from Oct 20th to Oct 26th. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused due to some connection delays and other issues.
We received a lot of feedback during the Steam Beta via different channels, and we are looking into them thoroughly and ensuring that not even a word is missed. We tried to improve the inconveniences our Descendants mentioned through issue patches, graphics options addition, and optimization patches for a better gameplay experience during the short Beta period.
However, we would like to apologize as this has taken away the time for our Descendants to enjoy our game due to the frequent unintended maintenance.
We will take all the feedback received regarding the inconveniences, including localization, game content, action, motion, UI/UX convenience features, and optimization issues, and implement them to improve our game. We will do our best to provide a more pleasant and advanced gameplay experience when we meet again.
We hope you'll be with us on our journey from the Steam Beta to the official launch. We will continue to listen to the opinions of our Descendants through various channels.
Please send us your feedback through the survey if you have yet to send any feedback or have more feedback regarding our game. We will actively accept and reflect them in the game.
Once again, thank you, Descendants, for participating in The First Descendant's Steam Beta.
Thank you.
