Less than a week after its launch, players are accusing The First Descendent of stealing from Bungie’s massively popular online action MMO, Destiny 2.
The First Descendant was accused of stealing art assets from Bungie’s massively popular online action MMO Destiny 2. Nexon Games‘ take on the cooperative looter shooter genre recently released back on July 2 and quickly amassed a sizable player base in the days following its debut. However, The First Descendant also suffered from several major issues following its launch, such as a major bug with its premium currency and heated discussions regarding its allegedly predatory monetization structure.
Even before its release, the developers of The First Descendant were not shy about what influenced their vision for Nexon’s third-person looter shooter. Director Minseok Joo has specifically stated that The First Descendant looked to Warframe and Destiny for guidance, explaining how his team wanted to foster the same sense of community in players with future updates.
