The First Descendant devs reveal planned next Fellow with bad news for cat-lovers

One of the best aspects of The First Descendant Season 2 is the introduction of Fellows. So far we only have a German Shepherd companion, and he undoubtedly is a very good boy. More good boys are on the way, and Nexon has revealed the next planned Fellow for The First Descendant while also sharing bad news for people who prefer cats over dogs.

Before the new year arrives, make sure to grab all of the December 2024 free rewards. In addition, there is a new code to get that expires on December 13th, and Nexon has just released a new bundle in honor of Season 2’s launch.

The First Descendant is poised to have an excellent 2025, and it all kicks off with the introduction of Ines Raya as a new playable character. While we cannot wait for the arrival of Ines Raya and her peachy glutes, we’re also looking forward to more Fellows.

The First Descendant next Fellow

Ahead of Season 2’s launch, Nexon said they were looking into adding other types of companions for The First Descendant. Now, during their recent Void Chaser livestream conducted on December 12th, the developer shared what’s next.

At the beginning of the Q&A at the 01:02:04 mark, Nexon revealed that they are looking to add keyboard and mouse support to consoles between mid-January to February. They then discussed the new Fellow they are planning for TFD.

As per the English interpreter, “the next pup is the labrador retriever, so it will be cute”. Nexon presumably meant it will be an adult dog rather than a puppy as the German Shepherd was referred to as a “pup,” too. It’s also not clear if they misspoke when saying a Golden Retriever and Labrador together. It’s possible we could be getting one, or Nexon might be looking to add both whether at the same time or not.

We’d absolutely love either a Golden Retriever or Labrodor as they are two of the best examples of man’s best friend. They are both gorgeous dogs, and the more dogs the better as they are wonderful companions.

Unfortunately, if you’re a cat person, don’t be expecting any felines in TFD soon. The interpreter laughed at an immediate request for cats, and said “cats don’t really listen to their owners, do they, so they might not fit the game’s theme”.

It’s possible Nexon could change their mind and add cats one day, but, right now, dogs rule and cats drool.
