UPDATE 18/7/24: The First Descendant developer Nexon says it has removed icons from the game which players said were copies of those found in Destiny 2.
Nexon previously commented to say it was taking the matter seriously and would make changes in a later patch. Now it has done so, and released the following note:
“The First Descendant has been developed with deep affection and respect for various looter shooters, and we take feedback regarding other similar games very seriously,” Nexon said in the game’s latest patch notes. “Through this hotfix, we are trying to reflect the unique identity of The First Descendant. We will continue to improve the game for the fans of the genre.”
ORIGINAL STORY 12/7/24: Nexon has responded to claims the iconography of The First Descendant is strikingly similar to icons found in Destiny 2.
Earlier this week, players identified a surprising number of similarities between the icons and weapons used in the new free-to-play sci-fi shooter The First Descendant and Destiny 2.
