I could spend all day just reading this changelog
It would frankly take far too long to go over every single update in The First Descendant 1.1.0, and this article would be a mile long if I copy and pasted the changelog, so I’ll simply highlight the most important changes and new additions below. If you want the full rundown, you can find The First Descendant 1.1.0 changelog onNexon’s website, as well as the changelog for the hotfix patch released shortly after.

Nexon continues to impress me with its incredible support for The First Descendant, with the 1.1.0 content update including a gargantuan number of really positive changes. Nothing is being nerfed into the ground; instead, Nexon has improved the farming experience across the board alongside various Descendant buffs and a ton of new ways to play or progress. There’s a lot of good stuff here, cementing TFD as one of thebest games on Xboxright now.
Of course, we’re not getting everything in Season 1 “Invasion” right away. Ultimate Freyna, new boss battles and Ultimate Weapons, and more are still yet to come, with a planned release on Oct. 10, 2024 for those features. Players aren’t lacking for new content to check out right now, though, especially with the Inversion Reinforcement progression system offering players multiple ways to earn Ironheart Particles.
The First Descendant: Season 1 “Invasion” is now available as the 1.1.0 update acrossXbox Series X|S, Windows PC, andPlayStation 5. How do you feel about the new release?
