The First Descendant is officially celebrating its first anniversary, and Nexon’s giving players plenty of reasons to jump back in. From a free character to powerful ultimate weapons and loads of cosmetic rewards, there’s a lot on offer during the anniversary event, which runs from July 3 to August 13—just in time for the launch of Season 3.

The anniversary event introduces rotating daily missions that reward players with Anniversary Tokens. These tokens can be exchanged by speaking with Anais in Albion, the main social hub of the game. Rewards range from cosmetics and emotes to large bundles of in-game resources like 10 million gold or 1 million Kuiper Shards. Most notably, players can spend 300 tokens to unlock any character from the base game roster—though it’s worth noting that newer seasonal characters like Serena, Keelan, Hailey, and Ines are excluded from this offer.

On top of that, players can redeem up to three ultimate weapons, each costing 200 tokens. These weapons—typically some of the most powerful and grind-heavy gear in the game—include popular picks like Thunder Cage and Enduring Legacy. It’s a rare opportunity for returning players to get their hands on high-tier gear without the usual farming grind.

As per the official announcement on The First Descendant's X (formerly Twitter) account, the celebration also includes the release of the game's official soundtrack, rounding out a well-packed anniversary campaign.

Overall, Nexon seems determined to re-energize its community and remind players why they fell in love with The First Descendant in the first place. Whether you’re a longtime player or someone looking to dive back in, now’s the perfect time to log on and claim your free rewards.
