Today we were blessed with a new cinematic trailer for The First Descendant, that excellent-looking free-to-play looter shooter that appears to be gunning for the Destiny crown. It's esoteric, concerned with larger-than-life forces, and set in a sci-fi universe on the brink of war. So very Destiny, indeed!
After inheriting mysterious cosmic powers, players will use them to defend humanity from a galaxy full of threats, like the alien Vulgus and the hulking Collosi. As a Descendant, it will be up to you to take the fight to the enemy and uncover the mystery behind your own place in the universe.
Honestly, it all looks great, and we can't wait to try this one for ourselves. Check out this trailer for a more gameplay-focused look at what to expect, or the plethora of preview content which is beginning to drop (Arekkz's coverage being particularly insightful).
What do you think of The First Descendant? Are you excited by the prospect of (potentially) a viable Destiny competitor? Optimise your loadout in the comments section below.

I really cant wait for this to drop so i can get stuck in..not sure when i'll have the time but i'm defo going to be all over this when it does arrive..
Didn't know "sci-fi epics" were generic f2p shooters. I'd keep the title for things like Nier or Mass Effect.
yes im all for this theres single player campaign 👍
if this was an online multiplayer nope no interest.
@Mad001 it is a multiplayer game it just like destiny.
Are we really gonna do the "creatures from another dimension descent on earth to destroy humanity!" Again?
I expected more when the first teaser came out and it was still called project magnum. I'll play the beta on the 20th and see if I like it.
The multiplayer will die within a year...unless there will be .... (you guessed it) ... zombies
Looks very good. Having not played Destiny for a good few months now (having more fun with Outriders TBH) I'll be good to try a fresh take on the genre.
This looks polished as hell but after being let down with other Destiny-like shooters or live services (looking at you Avengers and especially Outriders) I have reason to be wary with this one, especially since a lot of them tend to repeat the mistakes of each other.
Outriders was not a live service game and was very different to destiny 1 and 2 i ha e to say i enjoyed outriders and found it different enought to destiny as to play it during a lul in d2 @Blackjay
@Damingo1011 Perhaps but I feel it came with other features that made it resemble one. To this day I still do not get what players even see in it. Certain things about it just rubbed me the wrong way.
@C25CLOUD That's a damn shame, I'll be passing on it then.
