The First Descendant Hotfix 1.3.21b Patch Notes (13th March 2026)
Nexon has pushed a small but targeted hotfix for The First Descendant today, addressing a movement bug that was stopping Descendants dead in their tracks during certain in-game videos.

Nexon pushed Hotfix 1.3.21b for The First Descendant today, March 13, landing at 02:08 PDT. It's a single-fix patch, so don't expect a sweeping overhaul.
The one change on the board: a fix for a bug where Descendant movement would freeze during certain in-game videos. Small on paper, but if you've been hitting that mid-cutscene lockup, you'll know how disruptive it is to momentum. Nexon is asking players to reconnect to the game to make sure the fix takes hold properly, so do that before you jump back in.
That's the whole update. Not every patch needs to be a content drop, and a targeted fix pushed quickly is better than letting a known issue sit in a queue for two weeks. Full patch notes are available on Steam. Here's everything that changed:
Greetings, Descendants.
Here are the details on The First Descendant Hotfix 1.3.21b.
Please reconnect to the game to ensure smoother gameplay.
