Season ended This The First Descendant season has ended. The next season's dates appear here as soon as the publisher confirms them.
No official end date exists yet, so the figure above is projected from this game’s own past seasons and carries an EST. tag until the publisher confirms one.

The First Descendant Season 4, Episode 1: The Great Clash is estimated to end around November 23, 2026, based on its 95-day season cadence (verified August 21, 2026). Season 4, Episode 1: The Great Clash is the counterattack The First Descendant has been building toward since launch: a Vulgus warship descends over Albion, humanity's last protected city, and the Karel storyline ends inside Karel's Mothership, the largest Mega Dungeon Nexon has built. Update 1.4.0 also adds Raven, a shotgun Descendant built around rapid repositioning and a summonable Raven Form, the roguelite Trials mode, and Transcendent Weapons, an eleven-weapon tier above Ultimates. Nexon dates the next episode only shortly before it ships; the last three episodes each ran 91 days and rolled over at 15:00 UTC after maintenance, which is the rhythm the countdown above follows. Premium pass tiers left unclaimed when the episode ends are lost.
The First Descendant Season 4, Episode 1: The Great Clash launched on August 20, 2026 at 15:00 UTC with Update 1.4.0 across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Nexon has not yet confirmed an Episode 2 launch date — recent episodes have each run 91 days, which puts the estimated close in mid-to-late November 2026 (around November 19), when the next episode is expected to begin.
This page updates automatically the moment Nexon publishes the exact Episode 2 date. Episode rollovers land at 15:00 UTC after Nexon's regular maintenance window, so that is the timestamp to watch.
Recent episodes have ranged from 91 to 106 days (roughly 3 months each). Unveiled Truth was the longest recent episode at 106 days, while Breakthrough, Assemble, and Dimensional Clash each ran exactly 91 days. On that cadence, The Great Clash (which started Aug 20) is estimated to end around late November 2026.
Season 4, Episode 1: The Great Clash is the decisive counterattack against Karel: a Vulgus warship descends directly over Albion — humanity's last protected city — and the Descendants launch the assault they have been building toward since launch. It closes out the Karel storyline inside a brand-new Mega Dungeon, 'Karel's Mothership', the largest dungeon Nexon has built for the game.
The headline additions are Raven, a shotgun-wielding Descendant and former Albion underworld leader built around rapid repositioning and a summonable Raven Form; the roguelite Trials mode; and Transcendent Weapons — an all-new 11-weapon tier that sits above Ultimate Weapons on the gear ladder, each with interchangeable effects for deep build customization.
Update 1.4.0 shipped a major grind and farming-rate fix alongside the story payoff, and a returning-player program auto-enrolls Descendants at Mastery Rank 20 or below throughout Episode 1, with weekend EXP boosts in the Mega Dungeon, Infiltration Operations, and Sigma Sector.
Transcendent Weapons are the episode's flagship system: 11 new weapons that sit above Ultimate Weapons on the gear ladder, each with interchangeable effects players can swap to tune their builds. It is the first major reshuffle of The First Descendant's top-tier weapon economy since launch, and Nexon has framed it as a long-term progression track rather than a single-episode chase.
Each episode of The First Descendant includes a Premium Season Pass costing 500 Caliber — the minimum real-money purchase to obtain 500 Caliber is the 520 Caliber bundle at $9.99 USD (which includes 20 bonus Caliber). An upgraded Premium Pass with 25 Season Level boosts costs 1,500 Caliber (~$25 USD).
The Season Pass unlocks a tiered reward track including Legendary Descendant skins, weapon blueprints, cosmetics, and up to 300 Caliber refunded upon completion. A free track is also available without purchase.
All Battle Pass rewards expire when the episode ends — unclaimed tiers are permanently lost. Completing your Episode 1 pass before the next episode launches is essential to avoid losing premium rewards.
