Is The First Descendant down? Current server status
Nexon GamesThe First Descendant pre-season is in full swing, and with each update, the developers are introducing more content for players to enjoy.
The game has seen a peak player count of more than 260,000 players within a month of release, which is expected to increase with Season 1 when it launches on August 29.
Here’s everything you need to know about whether the servers are online.
Are The First Descendant servers down?
The First Descendant servers are currently down for scheduled maintenance in preparation for the 1.0.5 Hotfix. The maintenance began at 12 AM PT on July 31 and will end at 5 AM PT / 8 AM ET / 1 PM BST.
Although there’s no indication of the downtime being extended, there’s always a possibility of that happening. We’ll be sure to update this page if there’s an extension.
How to check server status
The First Descendant doesn’t have a dedicated website that shows its server status, but Nexon have been posting updates about the game’s status on an official webpage.
We recommend you also check the game’s official accounts on X and Facebook to keep track of more updates. You can also join the official Discord community to learn more about any server issues.
The First Descendant is not available on third-party server-tracking websites yet, so you can’t check the server status on sites like Downdetector. So, we recommend bookmarking this page and checking it regularly, as we’ll update it with the latest information.
The 1.0.5 hotfix introduces two new characters; Ultimate Valby and Luna, and a new weapon called Peace Maker. You can jump into the game and try them out once the servers are live.
