The First Descendant is adding new feature that will make characters look even better

The First Descendant is a fantastic game that is continually getting better with every update. It’s not perfect, but it’s more than evident that Nexon is always listening to the community and making changes based on feedback. Players are always requesting new customization options, and the good news is that The First Descendant is adding a new feature that will make characters look even better.

Nexon recently conducted an interview that revealed exciting plans for Season 2 and beyond. The second half of Season 1 is still slated to arrive on October 10th, and this is the update that will bring Ultimate Freyna to the game. In addition, there will be a new boss fight, and there will also be the introduction of Halloween skins.

All of the above is no doubt exciting, but there’s another feature for The First Descendant fans to anticipate: hair dye.

The First Descendant is adding hair dye

On The First Descendant official X account, Nexon has revealed “Hair Dye coming soon!”. The post is accompanied by an in-game screenshot showing three different hair dye colors. One is obviously purple, while the other two appear to be different variants of blonde.

While there’s no date mentioned in the post, it’s likely the hair dye is coming on October 10th as screenshots of hair dye were first included in dev note 14. Below are all the hair dye screenshots so far:

Hair dye is something fans have clamored for since day one, and it’s fantastic that it’s being added. It again shows Nexon is listening to players and is implementing features based on the wants of the community.

In theory, it should give players more freedom to customize Descendants exactly how they want. In the screenshots above, you can see this with the likes of Freyna rocking silver and dark purple hair instead of the typical black.

While fans are happy for hair dye to be added, there is also some concern in the community about how it will be monetized. Reacting to the hair dyes announcement on Reddit, there are comments such as “Very nice, just hope it won’t be too expensive”. There are also comments saying that Nexon should “Make the dye reusable”.

In addition to the above, fans are also hoping that hair dyes will be able to be used on Ultimates. Players want Nexon to add the option to remove helmets from default Ultimate skins, and the community also wants Nexon to change the paint system for outfits so that paints can be used multiple times for different outfits and different Descendants.
