Nexon revealed the Season 4 trailer and second-half 2026 roadmap for The First Descendant during its Descendant Fest 2026 livestream. Season 4, subtitled The Great Clash, launches in August with Mega Dungeons, a new Descendant named Raven, an Exceed Weapon system, 11 new weapons, and Trials missions. July brings a Void Intercept Battle overhaul, and September adds Ultimate Hailey.
The 2nd anniversary event for The First Descendant, streamed globally as Descendant Fest 2026, opened with the world premiere of the Season 4 trailer. Titled The Great Clash, the season depicts the final confrontation between Vulgus commander Karel and the Descendants, along with an all-out assault on Albion. Season 4 begins August 20 with Episode 1, which introduces Mega Dungeons featuring multiple bosses and interactive environments.
Alongside the dungeon content, a new Descendant named Raven arrives. A fixer from Albion and former underworld guild boss with a complicated history with Viessa, Raven summons a Raven Form for instant movement and shotgun bursts. The update also adds an Exceed Weapon system and 11 new weapons designed as long-term farming content, plus Trials missions with infinitely scaling enemy difficulty.
Before Season 4, a July 15 update overhauls the Void Intercept Battle, consolidating Hard and Void Deep difficulties into one mode with subdivided levels and adding Extreme difficulty. September 17 brings Ultimate Hailey and two new ultimate skill modules, along with the Cradle of Evolution content. The full archive of the event is available on YouTube.
