There is a lot of fantastic content planned for The First Descendant Season 2. From a new male and female playable duo to Ultimate Sharen to an assortment of unique drip, Nexon’s second upcoming chapter looks absolutely incredible. While we’re excited for everything set to arrive, we’re especially giddy that The First Descendant Season 2’s best new feature may be expanded in the future with “other types of companions”.
The release date for Season 2 is December 5th. While there is a lot to look forward to, Nexon has shared their plans beyond the game’s imminent second episode. Collaborations with other IPs are officially “under review,” and Nexon is planning more matchmaking options to help fans avoid repeat AFK offenders.
In addition to the above, Nexon are also planning to add more dogs to The First Descendant after Season 2 introduces a German Shepherd as the game’s first Fellow.

Nexon is planning more “breeds” and “other types of companions” for The First Descendant
Arguably the best new feature being added in The First Descendant Season 2 is the German Shepherd dog as a Fellow. Revealed in the pre-recorded developer commentary, players will be able to interact with Fellows.
Interactions include “petting, shaking hands, and high-fives,” as well as “other fun interactions like playing the conga”. In addition to interacting, you will be able to customize your pet companion via changing their fur, body skin, torso attachments, and head attachments.
Nexon teased there could be a “steady release of cosmetics for our Fellows,” as well as “even more interactions in the future”.
Aside from just petting and customizing, Fellows actually do have a function in Season 2. They will “help with item farming,” but they will not be able to grab all items if the player is moving too fast. Fellows will also slightly increase the module drop rate, although no specific measurement has been shared.
While the addition of a German Shepherd good boy is fantastic, even better news is that Nexon are looking to provide even more dog “breeds” in the future. On The First Descendant Discord, TFD_Director_Jooms said right now “the goal is to perfect the large shepherd-style dog, but we hope to introduce new breeds in the future”.
The director also said Nexon will “expand to other types of companions”. There’s no specifics as to what is meant by “other types of companions,” but it presumably means more variations of animals/pets, which would be fantastic for pet lovers around the world.
