The First Descendanthas been out for a few days, letting people properly dive into the game and experience some of the game’s Descendants, and all the weapons, andexplore the game’s various maps.
There’s a lot to chew into if you jive with the core gameplay, though you may also be itching to test your skills against more than AI opponents. Here’s whether there’s PvP inThe First Descendant.
Can you fight other players in The First Descendant?
As of writing,there is no PvP mode availableinThe First Descendant. Besides maybe competing with other players to complete certain missions orVoid Intercept Battlesas quickly as possible, there isn’t any head-to-head combat.
The reason for this is quite simple.The First Descendantisbuilt from the ground up as a co-op third-person shooterin the same vein asWarframeandDestiny 2. The team wanted to hone in on that aspect of it, so putting resources into a PvP mode either would’ve heavily delayed the game or worsened other aspects of the game as a result. PvP modes in this style of game don’t tend to fare well either, with Destiny 2’s Crucible community gaining some traction but brutally outnumbered by its PvE community.
This isn’t all to say that PvP will never be added to the game. Nexonone day may announce a new PvP modewhere you’re able to properly test your skills. Until they say anything about that, however, it should be assumed that a PvP mode isn’t in the works. If that changes, we’ll be sure to update this article accordingly.
