It’s a story as previous as time. Effectively, as previous as on-line video games have been a factor. The First Descendant goes by way of its proper of passage because the servers all of the sudden went offline inside 48 hours of launch. Right here’s the timeline and what we all know so far.

When will The First Descendant come again on-line?

Replace 5:49 pm ET by way of official website: “We want to inform you our server will go underneath upkeep on 7/3 (Wed).
■ Upkeep Schedule
– PDT 2024.07.03 (Wed) 14:30 ~
※ Upkeep ending time can be up to date quickly.
※ Recreation play can be unavailable through the upkeep interval.

■ Upkeep Particulars
– Enchancment of server instability points”

Replace 4:36 pm ET by way of X: “A number of gamers throughout all platforms are reporting server disconnection and login failure. Servers is perhaps experiencing points once more.”

Replace 3:14 pm ET by way of X: “Server is opened now. MS Community just isn’t utterly recovered, you could expertise unstable standing of the server.”

Replace 2:17 pm ET by way of X: “Now we have discovered that Connection subject is especially as a result of MS Community error and we’re ready for MS to recuperate. We are going to make discover as soon as it’s recovered.”

Round 12:30 pm ET, gamers worldwide had been booted from The First Descendant. Disconnects haven’t been uncommon within the temporary time the looter shooter has been dwell, however many like myself encountered errors like “LE:13” earlier than receiving notices that the connection had been misplaced fully.

The official account on X rapidly made a submit relating to the connections being unavailable. Judging from the wording of the submit, it appears the problem was fairly surprising and the servers would come again on-line as quickly as doable.

For these not checking social media or the hellhole that’s the official Discord server, a brand new splash display appeared when attempting to log through which places a, presumably unintentional, completely different spin on the scenario. It states The First Descendant is underneath upkeep and lists a begin time of 12:30 pm ET with no estimated finish time.

On the time of writing, there has but to be an official replace from Nexon. I’ll you’ll want to replace this as extra data turns into accessible. Between this and Future 2 experiencing its personal points with gear and characters not loading, right this moment just isn’t day for these seeking to loot and shoot. Maybe the silver lining is that we now have a while to rethink buying the Final Descendant bundles.
