This looter shooter is a real looker.

The First Descendant is an upcoming third-person cooperative looter shooter (in the vein of Outriders) powered by Unreal Engine 5, and while we only have a brief teaser to judge it by, it sure is a looker. The First Descendant is coming to PS5 and PS4, although there is no word on a release date as yet.

Developed by Korean studio Nexon Games, The First Descendant (previously known as Project Magnum) features massive boss encounters, up to four-player co-op with a particular focus on mobility, with players able to use both jump packs and grappling hooks to navigate the battlefield.
