The First Descendant Season 2 is only a few weeks away. Season 1 has been fantastic with the debut of Hailey followed by the introduction of Ultimate Freyna, and fans can expect similar content for Nexon’s second chapter. While we don’t know the new upcoming character or Ultimate yet, Nexon has revealed how The First Descendant skins are being improved in Season 2.

Players only have to wait until December 5th for Season 2 to arrive. Massive news is incoming this weekend as Nexon are about to reveal the newest Ultimate set to join TFD. In addition, Nexon has shared a new Season 2 feature that was previously “kept secret for a surprise reveal,” and the developer has confirmed an “appealing character” who is set to receive a huge upgrade.

While the curtain will officially be pulled aside on Season 2 soon, right now the Korean developer has shared notable improvements they are making to The First Descendant skins.

The First Descendant skin improvements arriving in Season 2

One of the best aspects of The First Descendant is undoubtedly its skins. Players absolutely adore the characters in the game, and they are made even better thanks to cosmetics that are very alluring and bodacious.

Leading up to Season 2’s launch, Nexon has previously discussed how they want to add more body diversity as it’s an aspect that made Hailey so beloved but also challenging to develop. Elaborating on the desire for more body diversity, TFD_PD_Lee recently posted in Discord that Nexon are prioritising “improvements related to appearances”.

These improvements include “more diverse and appealing outfits (sexy, cool, cute), helmet-free heads, mask-free heads, fixing body shape errors, and accommodating different body types”. In regard to “mask-free heads,” Nexon is specifically “adding an Ultimate Freyna head without a mask and providing it as a Battle Pass or event reward”.

As for long-term improvements, Nexon plans to produce a “wider variety of skins” while also “strengthening the character customization system”.

One of the biggest bones of contention with skins has been seasonal windows where they are no longer available to buy. For example, fans adored the swimsuit skins earlier this year, but they were seasonal only and thus no longer available to anyone joining the game anew. Fortunately, this will end with Season 2.

In response to a question on Discord, TFD’s producer confirmed permanent availability will apply to “skins released starting with Season 2”. While this is fantastic news for when S2 arrives, it unfortunately means “The Bunny/Glay nurse outfits are considered limited and will no longer be available for sale once the sales period ends”.
