The First Descendant Season 2 is imminent. It’s only one week away, and there is a lot of new content for TFD players to anticipate including two new playable characters. While one of the new faces will be introduced in 2025, Keelan will be available to unlock once the chapter starts. Ahead of the upcoming launch, Nexon has revealed the “updated” and “finalized” skills for Keelan in The First Descendant Season 2.

The release date for TFD Season 2 is December 5th. While Nexon has revealed a lot of exciting content for S2, they have also teased future additions for S3 and beyond. Nexon are hoping to add photo mode in S3, and they are also looking to add “jiggle physics,” although there’s no ETA for when this will arrive. In addition, Nexon are aware of players wanting crossovers with other IPs, and the developer has teased that collaborations are “under review”.

While 2025 is poised to be a phenomenal for The First Descendant, Season 2 is scheduled to start before the new year arrives. There is a lot to look forward to in Nexon’s second chapter, and one of the highlights is new playable characters.

The First Descendant Keelan skills for Season 2
