The First Descendant's 2nd Anniversary lands today with Patch 1.3.33, and it's a proper celebration rather than a token gesture. You're getting new event challenges, multiple themed shops, and a fortnight of weekend boosts that actually matter if you're grinding modules or pushing gear.

The real pull here is the Attendance Memento Shop, which lets you grab previously limited cosmetics you might have missed. Nexon's committing to making hard-to-acquire event items available again through rotating shops and events, which addresses a long-standing frustration for players who joined late or took breaks. The Deserted Island Vacation themed skins for every Descendant are in the Event Shop alongside new hair dyes and lounge figurines.

Weekend boosts run through 14 July and cut the cost of Ancestors Module enhancement by half, whilst Infiltration Operations and Special Operations get +50% EXP and resource gains. A handful of bug fixes address skill descriptions, equipment icons, and Void Vessel dungeon unlock issues. Check the full notes for every cosmetic bundle, the Fragment Exchange shop products arriving 9 July, and details on the BB-On's Dice Run event.
