Even if you’ve never touched a Nier game, I’d wager that you know exactly who 2B is. The iconic android has made myriad appearances in other games since Platinum released Nier: Automata in 2017, and the studio is showing absolutely no signs of slowing down. She’s already in Final Fantasy 14, Fall Guys, PUBG, Rainbow Six Siege, and a rhythm game excellently titled D4DJ Groovy Mix. Now, 2B is coming to The First Descendant.
I’ll admit, I’m not entirely surprised to know that 2B is on her way to The First Descendant. Nier: Automata is the perfect fit for Nexon’s live-service looter shooter – it felt like it was just a matter of time. Still, the free Steam game has quite an event on the way, as Nexon details at TFD’s Pax East panel.
“The community has been requesting this IP continuously, and we believe that it will match well with The First Descendant,” TFD producer Beomjun Lee says. “Although we’ve only shown some key images today, we will be sharing more details with a trailer showcasing our collaboration.”
“Unfortunately, the Nier: Automata collaboration will focus on decorations as we are in the process of solidifying the substance of our game. We decided to invest more in the content of Season 3 rather than other content related to the collaboration. However, in addition to the 2B and A2 outfits, we have prepared a damaged version of 2B with no skirt, with other motions and decorations as well.”
Lee assures that it’ll be just a few months before the Nier: Automata collaboration comes to The First Descendant, even if Season 3 is more of a priority. As for The First Descendant’s next major overhaul, director Minseok Joo recently admitted in an open letter that “there’s not much to do” in the game right now.
Nexon does have a plan for the game’s future, though. Instead of focusing on smaller updates, the team is putting almost all of its effort into Season 3, to make it “stronger and more complete.”
